Since DID develops in young childhood I don't understand how a young child would be capable of even knowing they 'split ' or 'fragmented' during abuse. It's hard for adults to comprehend all of this so I can't imagine a child being able to.
Abusedtoy, how were you able to know what was going on when your alters were created?How did you have that knowledge at such a young age?
Or have I misunderstood what you are saying?

I started to know there were alters in me, when I heard voices in my head. I have no idea when did I got my alters split, only later in adulthood, I have found out that I have dissociative identities. Being a young child, it is hard to differentiate whether one has alters or not, because the child parts are identical to the current age, but in adolescence or adulthood, it would be more obvious to tell the difference. I knew I felt something, of being numb, floating out or that lightning feeling, but I did not know what it was, only now I am more aware as an adult.
