Glad: v. to be happy because a fact(s) is communicated
Glad and happy mean the same thing unless you define glad as happiness when a fact(s) is communicated. “I am glad that you told me that” is then the appropriate way of saying “I am happy that you told me that”. “I’ll be glad if you show me how to do that” is also an example of being happy when some facts are communicated to you.
“I am thankful that you told me that” or thankful approximates what glad means because there is usually very little emotion associated with communicating facts.
If you don’t like this distinction then don’t use the word glad at all and stick with being happy instead.
