I strongly suggest you try chess again as an adult. I had the same experience, but with online resources now it’s actually a very fun experience. You also are always matched with people at your own skill level. There is basically no skill ceiling so it’s a game you can study forever.
Flashback of my dad teaching me chess when I was like 5.
My dad was the same except instead of chess it was boxing
Well that just sounds like pure abuse
