I would say to let it blow over. Maybe send them a letter telling them that you are hurt that they would think such horrible things about you after all this time. You are going through a hard time yourself with your parents divorce and being so far away from them and you'd appreciate their support instead of their criticism. Once his sister needs something from you again, you'll be back in their good graces. Just remember though, this is WHO they are, and you will inherit them as family if you stay with your boyfriend. Sometimes I find it's easier to appease people and keep your mouth closed so they have no ammo against you, rather than to fight your position. Some people will just never get it. Some people think the world is against them and are always waiting for the other shoe to drop and someone else to 'screw them' (in their eyes).
