Is it rude to decline baby shower by ex mother in law??

I’m pregnant and I decided to leave my baby’s father (toxic, narcissistic). We haven’t spoken to each other or seen each other in almost 2 months and probably won’t until baby is born. His mother wants to throw me a baby shower... I don’t know anyone here in Orlando as I’ve only lived here a short time and most of the people invited will be his family and friends. Would it be rude to decline a baby shower??

I don’t feel like putting on a fake smile, or pretend around people I don’t know.

Thank you ALL for the feedback! 😊 I’m sure I could explain that to her and she’d understand. I just needed some reassurance. I would definitely feel uncomfortable around them, especially if he decides to show up 😒 Appreciate all your feedback!!

Not at all. Maybe you can just say you aren't super comfortable with that but feel free to make a registry or something on amazon. That way people can still send gifts for the baby but you aren't on display.

I don’t think it’s rude at all, I think your feelings are totally valid. Could you possibly just explain this all to her?
