‘moving on’ from separation

Struggling a bit to word this.

I have been separated for a few years now but it still sort of feels like it hangs over everything.

Im torn between acknowledging that my children would prefer their parents to live together and wanting to draw a line and say ‘this is our lives now’ and move forward positively.

i am sure that separation was right as staying in an unhappy relationship is absolutely not in their best interest or an example I want to send them, but I don’t want to brush their feelings under the carpet.
Any suggestions please?

I think it really depends on the ages of the kids and how often your ex see's them.
It's absolutely fine to move on, you can still co-parent well. It's just the new 'normal'.
A little more detail would help you get better/more answers.
