The best course of actions is to stay away from her and avoid her except in unavoidable circumstances.
If your brother is a reasonable person and if he loves your family, he will try to keep her in line and make sure your family is not hurt. But it is your brother's responsibility to see to it that the two sides of his life are at peaceful coexistence. If he loves her so much that he doesn't mind you getting hurt, then you cannot do anything about it other than let go. And hope that he will one day come to see you. Meanwhile, try to be patient, and loving and udnerstanding towards your borther, and tolerant of your SIL when you need to meet her.
Really, when one person is very awful, all that you can do is to stay away.
Develop hobbies and a full active life for yourself, and that will help keep your mind away from dwelving more in your SIL.
