Hello, welcome,
I'm sorry to hear about the stressful times you've been through. It might be good if your therapist is new to this. They'll go into it with an open mind and new energy.
Definitely good to talk about your struggles. Covering it up will just make things harder.
I have a part that needs to be taught the mother tongue too, but frankly English is a better language anyway so you can imagine how well that is going. Difference is, my parts don't cause trouble for me. I get stressed and anxious and lose time, but they fill me in on what I've missed and they do a good job protecting me when I'm out so I've specifically told my therapists I didn't want to fix the "issue". They respected that so if losing your parts is something you're worried about, just letting you know that you can talk about this without that risk.
It's a little complex when you also have bipolar 1 because parts can be interpreted as psychosis. Hopefully you're not suffering a manic episode currently but if you are then I wish you the best. It's good you're being looked out for.
