Basically you can headcanon it either way. At the end of the day, whether or not Belle had contact with people besides Rumple and Gideon isn't the point of the story. The thing is, it fits with the RumBelle relationship for her to never contact them again. And eitehr way, she never saw her friends or family again.

Just saying if Emma did this for Hook everyone on this wiki would be singing a very different tune.....
