we can not tell you whether this situation was an alter or not. only your treatment providers can make that diagnosis but I can answer....in general, not directly related to you....
yes it is possible to have alters who are in control most of childhood who have the traumatic memories and then in adult hood the person regains those memories. its called by many things in my location DID, OSDD, repressed memories, schizophrenia ....even medical conditions and medications can cause a person to lose their memories, perceive their self as having alters then in adulthood gain those memories back.
since this is the Dissociative boards speaking just on that in my location when this happens its called integration (where memories and alters become one whole person again.)
again only your own doctors can tell you what is happening\what had happened with in you. my suggestion contact your treatment providers. they can help you figure this out.
