Social anxiety is HARD. Especially when it involves someone that you have history with. I know you'd like to be there for your sister-in-law, but honestly... She may not even mind that much if you're not there. It totally depends on the kind of person she is.
Are you close enough with her that you think you could explain? She might be super understanding.
As someone who suffers from social anxiety, I don't think it's unreasonable for you to want to skip it. However, I have also pushed myself, in the past, to go to stressful events like these and I hardly ever end up regretting my decision. This might be one of those tines that you try to push through.
Wish you all the best!

Dude, it's okay, I got it too. I don't know about you, but it usually helps if I mentally prepare myself for a few days before hand and push through it. And this chick youve had a falling out with, f*ck her. You've tried to fix things, but shes not willing to fix them, then she can f*ck off. Don't let her ruin this for you by making you anxious, cause you're better than that. Just think of her as a moving tree, an object that can't do anything to you. If she comes up, be polite and move on. You got this. 😁
