You have dodged a bullet.
If you want to fly, find a crusty old flight instructor that will take you from ppl to CPL.
Do your CPL in C182/206, get the crusty old bloke to take you into some dodgy ag strips, crosswind landings etc.
The crusty old flight instructor is the one that doesn’t wear a safety vest, deaf in one ear, can’t hear out of the other one, blind in one eye, poor vision in the other one, will sleep quiet soundly on a two hour navex from just after top of climb, at this stage of his career he has had more wives/ girlfriends/mistress’s than downturns in GA.
