This it is incumbent upon you to detach yourself from such people as you should not even class them as friends. Allah the exalted and majestic tells us in the Qur'an:
Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous.
(Surah Az-Zukhruf [verse 67])
So those of us that have bad friends who we have taken to be as close friends then know that they will stab us in the back on the day of judgement. They will testify against us and will be very harmful to us in the Hereafter as well as being harmful to us in this life. So it is better to be a loner than to have bad friends. So detach yourself from them immediately as there is nothing worse than being friends with those who constantly backbite, slander, gossip and carry tales in order to cause friction.
Try to find a good local sisters group and join local Islamic courses. Join a sisters section in a local Muslim charity or community group. Keep making Dua to Allah and eventually you will find good pious sisters who are also striving to please Allah but whatever you do let go of these bad friends.
May Allah give us good company who will benefit us in this world and the next. Ameen
