We were civil and everything was good. Then she gets back from Phoenix and I message her. She replies telling me not to waste my breath and that she's blocking me on ICQ. I have no idea what Mark and Belinda said to her but she and her husband, who used to be my friends and would come stay at my home all the way from Florida, now will not talk to me.

That's not uncommon. Whoever Belinda and Mark talk to begin not wanting to talk to me anymore.

The only exception is Belinda's aunt. Belinda asked her to take me off her friends list and never talk to me again. She saw me after that and told me she knows I'm not crazy like Belinda tells her. She knows I'm still me, just with a broken heart. She stayed on my friends list and told me she'd still have me over for dinner sometimes.

That's Belinda's aunt, who knows me better than anyone on these adult boards. Belinda tried to get her to turn against me, but I've been nothing but good to them and she hasn't done so. Believe me, she loves her niece and will always put her first, but she just wasn't buying the whole "donny's crazy" bit that mark and belinda are trying to paint.
