Did anyone really struggle/take ages to learn to drive?

Just looking for opinions and maybe a bit of reassurance…

Ive recently started to learn to drive again. I’m early 30s. Tried a decade ago but struggled and gave up. This time I’ve opted for automatic which I prefer so so much.

Anyway I have been having regular lessons (2 hours most weeks) since September and also practice a bit between lessons in my own car with a family member.

I am still such a novice and still struggle with a lot of aspects of driving. Some things I have picked up and improved on so I am making progress but it is so slow. I have no idea why I struggle so much. Countless people I know had similar or less amount of lessons and were test-ready!

At this point I’m wondering if some people just don’t possess the skills to ever be a good driver. Driving would improve my life massively and I’m happy to keep going and trying… but I don’t want to continue trying if I’m just in the same position this time next year. Im feeling a bit down about it and disappointed in myself for being useless.
:(

any success stories? Or advice?

thanks

I passed third time and have now driven for many years, and love it. It will come to you!
