I just need some support and advice

Ok so my husband cheated on me for well over a year then lied about it for the next two years(telling me I was crazy to even think that) and finally told me (most of the truth) in November of 2005. In May of 2006 I told him I wanted to move out because the pain was to much for me. In July I did that with my 3 kids(we were married for 16 years with 4 kids). My kids are angry with me because they know I'm the one who wanted out but they don't really know why. My 16 yr old lives with his dad and still hasn't been enrolled in school at their new house. I forgot to say we sold our house and rented one house for him and one house for me. So I've been living alone now for almost 2 months and I'm very scared!!! I don't think I will ever meet someone I loved as much as him, and the people I meet are just so young. I'm 36 and I've been a housewife for 16 years and have no idea where to go to meet people who are interested in the same things as me. I have a few girlfriends but they just want hang out at the bar and meet guys who could really give a crap about just hang out and having fun they just want to have sex with a different person every night and that's just not me. Have any of you been though this? Where does an adult go to meet people who just want to go to a baseball game, or see a good movie,or have dinner and good conversation? DO people not do these things anymore? Is it all just about getting drunk and sleeping with as many people as you can? I don't really want to date I just want to have a friend to hang out with and laugh with and have a good time, is this not possible anymore?
