 I guess the reason nobody has answered your question is because there isn't really a good one to give. Other than to ignore your relatives that are acting like idiots, there's nothing to do. You've done nothing wrong so at least you can hold your head high and go about your business as best you can. Once the dust settles maybe things will ease up for you. Good luck and keep us posted.
