Setting and maintaining boundaries can be very difficult, and even more so when family is involved. I too, have a strange and extremely complicated relationship with my sister. A suggestion is set your boundaries (no, you will not tell me who to date/talk to/invite over), give reminders calmly (remember, you cannot choose who I spend my time with), and remind her of the consequences (I will not participate in this conversation any longer). If she continues, you do have the right to get up and walk away. Immediately. It'll feel awkward and horrible the first few times. But you are reinforcing that boundary with her. Sounds like boundaries are difficult for her to respect. So, show her how to respect yours. Good luck.
