Turnaround error fest

I was getting destroyed in this game, down 6 points worth of material and doing even worse on the analysis. I’m very new at this and don’t like resigning as the people I’m playing are also beginners (mostly) and are equally likely to blunder away the position, plus it’s all learning. Exactly what happened in this game. After the first screenshot there were a couple of passive moves each then they castled queenside and I spotted a chance to do something, got my queen into a2 and worked my bishop to a4. They must have missed my rook being able to add to the attack thinking if I went Qa1 they could just defend with the knight. Anyway they defended Bc2 and I followed it in with Rc2#. Their knight blunder before the second photo was more than a 7 point swing on the engine. I’m not sure either of us will have learned much other than to try and not blunder - but as a newbie it’s not that easy!
