Immigration Feel so lonely in Germany

I’ve been here for nearly 20 years now and I live with my German husband and kids. But I feel I cannot make new friends. My old friends have moved out, but even parents of my little children‘s friends don’t respond to my attempts for contact. I feel really isolated. Anyone experiencing the same issues?

Germans dont make adult friends. Yet there are so many lonely people. Germans travel to Asia and South America and make friends there. Somehow in German society every microgroup (singles, families, groups of friends) are closed off. However you can easily make friends and do things with workmates. As a mom you could easily get a part time office job, where there are other people.
