Hi @CamiB! Nice to see more women here with average hands! I have been at TAC for almost 2 years and yes I had lots of trouble at the beginning. Part of the issue was I had too big of a guitar; ended up with a parlor guitar with 23.5″ scale length. Even so, I cannot stretch from 2 to 4 either, but it depends on which fingers are required. I often do a kind of rocking “jump” (as in the Blues shuffle), but it requires more attention to not shifting your fingers over. That’s ok, it makes one a better guitarist, in my opinion!
Another thing to try, is the stretching skill course, found in the sidebar of the main page. I have crooked fingers too, and while I know they will never straighten or grow longer, they can be limbered up to their limit over time. Good luck, and welcome to TAC!
