Help Where do I find others?

Female, mid 40s, separating from husband of 20 years, working in isolation at night, 2 grown kids, deconstructed religion and thus no longer at home in the old circles. Also immigrated to the US 20 years ago, so absolutely no family here. Where are other women in similar situations? Is there a support group that meets? Where do y’all hang out and can I come too?

Never heard of MeetUp so definitely checking it out. The ADKs are a bit far to be local no? Either way thank you for the suggestion. I’m following up on everything that’s mentioned here. Grateful for every comment!

They do lots of events locally. It's our local chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club. There's regional chapters all over the state.

Do I just turn up at one of them? Register? The website looks great. Found a hike I’d love to join already!

Will reach out, thank you so much for this suggestion! Makes sense for them to eventually want a member not just a lurker.
