I've had some moderate social connections in the past few years that didn't come to anything, when all was said and done.
I'm 57, and easily recall when the US was an honorable and enviable place to live. No more.
Anyway. At the risk of sounding cliche...I truly feel your post.

Don't worry about sounding cliche, dear BethRags. Feeling this way actually puts us in the majority, and that's exactly what makes it so terrible. It hurts even more when the people you've given your love to, given part of your soul to, treat it with such casual disregard. People treating you with outright hatred is easier to manage than indifference.
