I'm so sorry such terrible things happened to you. I think you are talking about PTSD combined with an ego state disorder. Other people here, including me, have that. It's a sort of partial dissociation of one's inner self into feeling states centered around ages when particular traumas happened. It's not DID, where you develop separate personal identities to cope with trauma, but it's a lesser version of the same process. Therapy can help it a lot, though it's usually not a quick process, unfortunately. Why aren't you finding a therapist? We can all care about you, and we do, but we can't do what a therapist can do for you. We can't even be any kind of substitute for therapy, unfortunately.
Please think about that very carefully, James.
