Grammar Error #2

A lot of really deplorable characters are in this book, with only two characters that were actually worth saving. How the carny talked was really rough and a little sickening. A younger me, who lived off of Chuck Palahniuk and anything else I could get my sick little hands on would have loved this. At the age I am now with true knowledge of people’s depravity has made it harder for me to stomach.

I think "At the age I am now" is a adverbial phrase, and that "with true knowledge of people’s depravity" is the subject of "has made", then I'd like to know why "with" is positioned before the subject.

Thank you in advance for your help.

A little. The idea is that this knowledge of people’s depravity has come with age. Example 2. doesn’t express this quite as well, but it’s understandable.
