How easy is it to prove an unfit parent?

My husband and I are separating, co existing at the moment till mediation is done, although he hasn't made his appt.. mine is on the 15th.. we agreed 50/50 with slow transition till he said he's having them sleep at his every weekend because he works 5 days a week. I disagree I don't want to commit to family weekends every weekend then walk out in them. He also said they'll have one home the house they are in now. I'm the one leaving ( back story is we bought the house with his parents so himself and the two of them are on the mortgage I am not).

In the background I feel something is happening, they won't say where they are going not that they have to answer to me but it's all weird..my instinct says one thing but I'm worried I'm just over thinking it..

So my question is how easy is it for them to prove I'm a unfit mother. I'm a recovering co codamol addict, I tend to gentle parent, I listen to them let them adventure safely. I

can be argumentative but since this is all started I've stopped. I also sometimes have a fight or flight instinct. Where I've handed over our youngest and said I need to get out. I am on anti depressants which have helped massively. I'm also seeking counselling.

not easy

Please see legal advice and if you are married stake a claim in the house

Second question is then has any one been through claiming home rights when the house is jointly owned by spouse and parents? I'm going to make a appt with a solicitor. To have everything in a row... I'd like to know so I can stop worrying I guess.
