#New to Co parenting

#coparenting

Is there anyone who is co parenting your child? I want to know how the child will undergo the situation, I am having many thoughts of it. I wanted to know other people's views on it.

Background - me and my husband are thinking about getting separated. Our son is 8.5 years old and he's more attached to his dad and his dad is also more attached. I am fine to leave him with his dad as I don't want to break the setup of his school, neighborhood and his friends. I can meet him only during weekends in case of co parenting. I am feeling a huge lump in my throat whenever I think of it. Though I think of leaving him whenever there's a fight, I couldn't take that decision. But of late I am thinking in all ways about co parenting.

It would be nice if you all share your views to make me understand. I wanted to consider the best for my kid thinking of all the ways.
