Show I start cosleeping with my toddler

I found out in August my husband was cheating and I've just found out they're expecting a baby in a few months. We have a daughter who is nearly 2 1/2 and has always been a great sleeper in her own bed, but I share her 50/50 with her dad and his whore, week on week off.
My daughter adores her dad, although he's never put her first. I'm terrified she'll grow distant from me and choose to live with them when she's older, so I'm desperately trying to do all I can to establish the strongest bond I can, and I'm wondering if, on the weeks she's with me whether I should have her in bed with me? I have no plans to meet someone new and she is my absolute priority, but I don't know if I'm doing the wrong thing! If I did meet someone I'd never have them stay over while she's with me anyway, as she will always be my main focus.

Not if she's happy in her own bed. You can't project your turmoil onto her.

He's a total shit.

No, not for those reasons.

i think it will make separation for her in his week even harder. You also don't want her to get into bed with her dad and his partner. Or to rely on you to sooth her.
