When I refuse to step into another character, it feels like my whole body is shutting down because no one else is there to continue coping, I won't let them. I've identified a distinctly masculine personality as well as a more sexual, feminine personality along with that of a child. I believe I may have been living as the child for the majority of the relationship, because of the similarity to my childhood.

Yes, I know what you are describing. The masculine personality is your father. The feminine is probably your mother and then you have that very challenge child part of you. You are NOT crazy, lots of individuals do carry aspects of their parents in their minds. This is how human beings are designed, we imprint more than we realize. I have a challenged child part to me too, it's due to how challenging it was for me as a child growing up in the environment I had to deal with that was just too confusing for me. I did see a lot of abuse.
