Standing up for yourself is fine. Remember you can have boundaries, you don't have to compromise your values. It is how you enforce those boundaries that matters. Try switching roles in your head and think about a way that she could stand up to you that you would respect her for.
Getting sucked into a fight and angry words is certainly not the way, but yeah I know how hard it can be, I did exactly that this weekend.
