Lessons to my mother.

Since we bought an old-fashioned car I've been improving my driver skills. We bought it within January and February and I practiced for a while how to drive. It took me 6 lessons so I could go on and no crash in a wall or against other car. However, I wasn't sure because looking at the mirrors of the car and making a turn were very difficult, and we shouldn't talk about parking the car. But I had no option, I needed to develop that skill for my mother, she is a 50-year-old woman and works a lot. Her bodie is weaker each day, and also her strength is lower. I'm aware she's not available to keep going this way, she can't still paying for taxis and drive an old motorcycle that doesn't allow her to carry on all her stuffs. So I drove with fear, nervous and a lack of skills on me. I learned and I became good at it, I had left the fear away of me and made a good for my little family, but not for me. All my projects, all my dreams and time were for my mom and her business. Even though I've felt happiness for helping her, in my unconscious, I see that I haven't made progress in my life because of her. So I took seriously the goal of teach her how to drive... and I've failed. Yesterday, she was turning to the right in a steep street, her body betrayed her and she pushed the accelerator, crashing us into a wall. I blew up and chewed her up. I feel terrible for the words I said, but I'm so upset and desperate, we've been practicing for a month and she still can not drive in an empty street. I wonder what to do, and I hope she can forgive her selfish teacher because I really can't forgive me. I'm looking for strength so I can push myself further and teach her, but I don't know if I will find it.

Since we bought an old-fashioned car, I've been improving my drivering skills.

Not sure what you mean by old-fashioned car? Do you just mean gas versus electric maybe?

We bought it within January and February and I practiced for a while how to drivI practiced how to drive for a while.

Not sure what to do with the February here - was that when you were practicing, maybe?

It took me 6 lessons sobefore I could go on and nodrive without crashing into a wall or against nother car.

So I took seriously the goal of teaching her how to drive seriously... andbut I've failed.

Yesterday, she was turning to the right ion a steep street, her body betrayed her and when she pushed the accelerator accidentally, crashing us into a wall.

The "her body betrayed her" bit isn't something we'd likely say in this situation - that's more of like "a medical emergency made her crash". I went ahead and guessed you meant it happened by accident, but it'd be even better if you gave a more specific reason like "she got scared and pushed the accelerator" or "something startled her and she pushed the accelerator".

I blew up and chewed her upout.

I feel terrible for the words I said, but I'm so upset and desperate,; we've been practicing for a month and she still can not drive ion an empty street.

I don't think this sounds selfish at all! Sometimes family members are the hardest to teach, especially when they're older than us and have always been the ones to teach us in the past :)

I'm looking for the strength sto I can push myself further andcontinue teaching her, but I don't know if I will find it.

Thanks for your corrections.

You can say "within January and February" as a time period, but it's just weirdly imprecise here. Buying a car usually refers to the actual transaction which is a single point of time, so talking about it spanning multiple months is a little unnatural.

You could say "We searched for a car to buy throughout January and February" if you want to put more emphasis on the process of choosing a car.

It took me 6 lessons sobefore I could go on and not crash into a wall or against other car.

However, I wasn't sure because looking at the mirrors of the car and making a turn wereas very difficult, and we shouldn'let's not talk about parking the car.

Little awkward with the plurality of the tenses here, but despite the "and" "looking at the mirrors of the car and making a turn" is a single action.

The expression "let's not talk about parking the car" or the idea of not talking about something because it's unpleasant or difficult in this way is a pretty casual expression, so it's better paired with casual words.

But I had no other option, I needed to develop that skill for my mother, she is a 50-year-old woman and works a lot.

Her bodiey is weaker each day, and also her strength is loweress than it used to be.

"lower" needs a comparison point, and also I think it's more natural to use "less" in this sentence.

I'm aware she's not available to keep going this way, she can't still be paying for taxis and driveing an old motorcycle that doesn't allow her to carry on all her stuffs.

"stuff" is inherently plural, you don't need to make it "stuffs"

So I drove with fear, nervoues and a lack of skills on me.

I learned and I became good at it, I had left the fear away ofbehind me and made athings good for my little family, but not for me.

Even though I've felt happiness for helping her, in my unconsciously, I see that I haven't made progress in my life because of her.

"cannot" is nearly always abbreviated to "can't" anyway

I wonder what to do, and I hope she can forgive her selfish teacher because I really can't forgive meyself.

Thanks for your corrections, but I have doubt. Another guy said that the sentence "her body betrayed her and she pushed the accelerator" is a little weird and doesn't make sense. Could you please tell me what you understand from this phrase and if I can improve it for a better understanding?

Due to some physical weakness or health issue, she pushed the accelerator when she didn't wish to.

Oh no! I didn't want to say that, I wanted to say that she got nervous and stood still, and when she reacted, her foot was at the bottom of the accelerator.

In this case it's better to say something like "her (instincts/muscle memory) betrayed her"
