I can totally relate to moving and friendships . Smaller communities have very closed social groups and many are friends from high school (and many haven't grown beyond high school thinking also). I eventually formed friendships through a Curve gym and when that closed we have remained friends 6 years on. As a working Mum I didn't find I had much in common with my children's friend's Mums. Through this bc journey and having chemo I've met some really amazing women and we have formed strong friendships that I believe will last far beyond treatment time. It's fantastic to be able to talk to others who just "get it".
