Thinking about telling our dad about our system

Hi, all. Yesterday the topic of DID/OSDD organically came up in conversation with our dad and I’m thinking about telling him about us. We didn’t tell him yesterday because we hadn’t thought about it yet but after we did, we’re feeling pretty comfortable with the idea. We had a rough relationship with him at times growing up but he and we have been working on it for a while now and we’re really happy with where we are. We feel like we can trust him to learn about it, as he has with other things we’ve brought up, and that even if he doesn’t understand he’ll believe us.

Disclaimer: We are undiagnosed and I’m honestly not sure if we want to get a documented diagnosis but we definitely want to get therapy for all this when we can. Our partner is the only person that knows and our dad would be the second. We’ve gone back and forth on this for years but recent times have cemented our confidence about it.

So our question here is, how do you all recommend we bring up the subject and tell him? How should we go about it? We're thinking of telling him tomorrow during our pre-planned call. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance :)
