#i love cm but the way they portray mental health issues can be horrid

I'm wanting to write a fanfic based on Spencer getting kidnapped by Tobias Hankel but I hate the way the show portrays DID. Simply changing the language used to be more accurate doesn’t feel good enough. I'm thinking the best idea might be to remove the DID all together (as much as I want more DID representation in media, I want to keep Hankel as a killer).
Does anyone have any ideas on how to change Hankel’s character so that the story still makes sense but doesn’t have offensive DID stereotypes?
My fanfic does have supernatural elements so my initial idea was that maybe Tobias is literally possessed by the ghost of his father? Don’t know how to add Raphael in though.
