Sick of it!

Hi all!
I'm extremely close to my sister. We talk every day without fail even though there's quite an age gap between us. I love her to bits but a few years ago she got involved with this guy, married with kids all over town tbh! They have gone through a lot of things, mainly him screwing around, throwing her out of his house, etc. He's only recently in the last year gotten violent.
My sister's problem is that she's 25 acting like a love struck 15 year old. It's becoming quite obvious that she's getting off on the drama of their turbulent relationship. I and my family genuinely don't think she's in love with him. Everytime they break up, she's devastated but she has to make it all so dramatic! She can never be happy with him. Everytime that everything is okay, she makes something happen and stirs rows.
My family don't want to hear about it anymore even though they arent the ones getting the phone calls at 2 or 3 in the morning and having to go to school the next day. How can I get her to see that she's pushing everyone away with her infatuation with her boyfriend who treats her like crap and uses her to do his cooking and to be his personal chauffer to the pub?
The fun, strong, independent girl I knew and looked up to has gone and all she is no is a neurotic, obsessive headcase that doesn't care about anyone else but herself.
How do I help her cop on and sort herself out?

I hate to say it, but it sounds like she could do with getting some help... counselling can do wonders for people's self esteem.
