What should you do if nothing works? Then just keep distance from your sister-in-law. Avoid coming to her (we think, that you really don't like it and she never comes to see you at your place).

Any object will make you feel safer and she won't be able directly invade your personal space.
Remember, that your sister-in-law directs her negative energy to you, that's why never face her when she talks to you. By the way, therapists know this trick that's why they never look into face of their patients, when they want to unload something negative on them.
