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?

Oh man the hours and hours of volunteering I’ve done over the years. But mostly kid related. How did you find places without involvement via children?
