She is estranged from her father, nor is she very close with Snow White. Not to mention, she might just want to be alone, for some time. I didn't think Belle was estranged from her father. I think he would have welcomed her back with open arms. The "father treating Belle badly thing" was a lie Regina told Rumple. Idk what Belles relationship with her father is post curse. But I know she was mad at him then because he did something to protect her. But Idk if that would keep them apart forever. It's not like Belle to stay away from her father for one mistake when Rumple did many mistakes.
