My heart goes out to you. I haven't anything to add regarding gaining access to historical records but I do want to try to lessen your current train of thoughts about the circumstances.
Your description of the little two year old you absolutely reminded me of my offspring when she was a two year old little girl. She imitated everything I did. I have one photo of the time I'd taken the baby and her for a picnic down by the river, as I was spreading the blanket to sit upon, she said "baby's crying". I looked up to see her climbing up into the pram where she promptly put the teat of the baby's prepared milk bottle into his mouth - she was only 15 months old.
Thus, I think you probably had to try to feed yourself and/or tried to give your poorly mummy a little tidbit of food to make her better. As well as using a knife to cut bread, cake, or spread something, I also use a knife to cut open packets of food such as a packet of biscuits. Then, of course, there's the scenario that your mum had dropped the knife and you'd picked it up at some point. You shouldn't blame your two year old self.
I do encourage you to speak with your doctor before your thoughts completely take over.
