Well acoustic guitars come in a variety of sizes and neck widths so I’ll first ask what guitar you’re playing @bwscv123yahoo-com. Then I’d add that lighter strings can sometimes help with the fretting. Finally, don’t be so hard on yourself. Leave that to your fiercest critics (your family, it’s always the family that casts the most doubt) and just patiently work forward each day and just have fun. It’s going to take a little while until the muscle memory and coordination really kick in so give yourself a break during the starter period. You’ll get there. Most all of us have been through what you describe.
