I feel hopeless and like giving up

I feel honestly like I’m never gonna learn. I’ve been driving for 17 days since I got my permit and I keep making big mistakes. I’ll do good like really good for the first like 2 1/ hour.

And then I do something stupid like really stupid for example yes I was driving. My Dad said dang you’re perfect for about. I guess an hour or two only needed minimal help and made like a light mistake. Like touching the curb or something when I made a U-turn but then I got into the bigger mistakes. There’s just one road we go on sometimes it’s confusing for me and I went into the wrong side of the road the wrong direction and we had to quickly move to the other side then we don’t get hurt and I got scolded for of course and then I almost hit another car at a four-way stop. I’m just so freaking aggravated. It makes me feel like I’ll never learn and just to give it up now. My Dad says I do almost perfectly fine on the freeway, but I’ve even had some mistakes on there too. One time I was checking a blind spot and swerved not severely. My Dad grabbed the steering wheel and then I wouldn’t do that again and I haven’t did it. I don’t think since But so I feel like I’m never gonna learn that and it hurts everyone around me has their license. Everyone throws it in my face and treat me like I’m less and I wanna learn so bad.

Well, at this point, I’m so hopeless

When I get paid, I’m gonna buy some lessons from an instructor maybe that can help me a little bit, but I don’t know it just sucks

I’m so confused

I already posted on here, but I’m back so it’s been about. I don’t know a week and I still have not seen parking lot or somewhere, where I could just practice My Dad just takes me out on the main road. I’m planning on buying an instructor soon but it’s gonna cost me like $400-$500 just for six hours and again I feel like this is a skill that I can’t learn. Keep messing up example going on the freeway today which My Dad has me on the freeway I turned into the freeway without checking properly and then when I checked my Blindspot, I accidentally moved the wheel too much with my body, and I swerved on the freaking freeway of course My Dad grabbed the wheel and makes sure nothing happen. I didn’t do it again after that but still freaking sucks and I keep getting confused on what lanes are trying to do because to me every moment it’s changing so I’m just so confused.

My Dad‘s been taking me driving for I think 15 days straight every single day or like at least 10 to 15 minutes sometimes a couple of hours just driving places he need to go and I’m struggling

I feel like I keep forgetting what I’m learning and I feel like I’m not learning quick enough or efficiently. I feel like I’m sucking at this.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to learn

So basically, I got my permit a week ago. I’m currently 18. I’m late to getting all that stuff and I’ve been learning how to drive for 11 days. And I made some really bad mistakes and honestly, I feel like I’m never gonna learn this. A lot of things in life come very hard for me to learn. I’ve always been in the special classes and I’ve struggled a bit with things that come naturally to other people for example, some things I really messed up on is turning into the wrong lanes. I do that often or attempt to anyway before being corrected. I also got into my almost 1st accident because of a stupid freaking thing I did so basically I was trying to pull into a parking space. I was driving My Dad‘s Tahoe, which is a bigger car and I went too much on the gas and almost hit a truck and then got screamed at by My Dad then got screamed at by the people because they said I hit their truck by the way I did not hit the truck granted I was 2 inches away from hitting the truck, but I did not hit the truck. Also, another time this guy was walking in the crosswalk at a parking lot and I almost hit him My Dad told me to stop and of course I stopped. I did not see him. My parents say I’m seven out of 10 driving and that I’ll be able to take my driving test in June but I don’t know. I never got to practice in a parking lot on the first day. My Dad took me to a quiet road, and then the second day he took me to the highway and then on the fifth day, he took me on the freeway, which was terrifying my dad’s the type of person to throw you into water and then just hope you swim type of person. I just get confused on things very easily. I just feel like this is a skill I’ll never be able to learn everyone around me already has their license income second nature to them while I’m struggling.

Also, something else that I struggle on is today I figured out after driving for 11 days straight. What a one-way road is of course I know what a one-way road is from the test, but I had no idea about actually how to drive on one and all that other stuff and accidentally almost turned into the wrong lane. Apparently My Dad wanted me to go into the lane closest to left, but I was trying to go closest to right because apparently up ahead he wanted me to make a left turn and it’s freaking screwed up and then I also appeared the way of traffic today because I did not know about the center lane. I knew of course about it because of videos and because of the test I had to take, but I never actually had to drive in one so I was so confused and just kind of into the crosswalk in front of a cop. Luckily, I did not get pulled over but I did get yelled at.

But yeah, My Dad is tall multiple people how to drive and this isn’t him. I’m very just confused basically about everything.
