Wow, I had no idea about BoyyM. I never knew him, but I knew 'of him.' I must have made an invalid connection and misunderstanding of information from what I had been told 9 or so years ago by way of incorrectly connecting it to be about BoyyM.
It seems unethical to me to pretend to be someone that you're not and have a hidden agenda. I concur about not minding that he is a shrink, but that he pretends he is not a shrink and likely not even multiple either.
Although as a side note and to be fair, I do have a few multiple friends whose career is in the mental health field (therapists with Master and PhD degrees), and they have sought personal support and friendship with other multiples within their personal life, while also keeping their profession personal and private when communicating on Internet public forums. In this manner, I think it is ok, as they are people who happen to be multiple and who happen to have a profession in the mental health field.
However, I do not think this is the situation with BoyyM at all. Thanks for the additional information about BoyyM. It was also helpful to read Duathir's post and the associated threads with it.
