I have a friend that is ~~a whore~~ in a poly relationship.  Began when her kiddo was 1 year old.  The kid is now 12 and perfectly adjusted..... aside from the "fox-ears" she wears 24/7.... and the self-cutting...... and all the antidepressants.... and the counseling.... burning her drapes periodically....pisses herself sometimes..... killing her goldfish by stomping them into the hardwood floors.... but hey, the kid is rocking straight F's in school, so she has that going for her.  Perfectly adjusted.
