I relate to this story personally. Wish you the best, and here are some resources that have helped me:

- after many failed attempts doing CBT and mindfulness based therapy, doing psychodynamic psychotherapy with a therapist who takes relationships and trauma seriously

- "Complex PTSD: From surviving to Thriving" (Pete Walker)

- "The Tao of Fully Feeling" (Pete Walker)

- "Treating Adult Survivors of Emotional Abuse and Neglect" (Hopper/Grossman/Spinazzola/Zucker)

- "Adult children of emotionally immature parents" (Gibson)

Would also recommend Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk's lengthy tome, "The Body Keeps The Score". Been recommended on HN several times before (including once by me, I think).

Haven't checked out some of these other titles (only know of pete walker, loving "From Surviving To Thriving"), thanks. Do you know about EMDR? Worth looking into, IMO.
