I would just hit send and see what happens. What do you have to lose? You have so much to gain though!
It's not like I would be the first person in the family to mention him being bipolar, and at least I can hope it sounds better coming from me since I'm admitting I have a mental illness too. Plus, it is getting sent to my step-mom first, so if she doesn't want to share that with him if she thinks it will set him off, she can always omit it.
