not sure where to ask this

I wasn’t sure which forum to ask this in…
ok so here is my question...I just need some advice....there is a long history but the jist of it is this: my ex boyfriend and I have a 4 year old daughter together.  For all of her life he has been on and off pills and heroin and in and out of jail.  He hasn’t seen her since April because he let the addiction over come him.  He was homeless and high etc.  Just yesterday he got an apartment and has some help and seems to be on the right track.  I want to see him stable and clean for at least a month before I let him see our daughter.  More so because I don’t want her to get all excited then have him disappear again ya know.  soooo I feel torn.  On the one hand I wanna stick to my word and make him wait a month, more for her sake.  But then on the other I wonder if he saw her for just a few minutes like today or something if that would be beneficial to both or detrimental to one or the other.  Of course I have family telling me to keep my word but my gut feels torn.  Please any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advanced.

I am so glad you said "OUR" daughter.  I think you should let him see her of course while you are there.  None of us know what tomorrow will bring so let him see her today.  Maybe she will never see him again but she will at least have a memory of him.  If he is clean today, let her see him.
He is her father and you had a baby with him.
Just because he is an addict doesn't make him a horrible person.
