Well we had dinner together tonight and it was very civil.
But she said "You know it's ironic that we do more stuff together NOW that we're separated than we did before. Just ironic". It is odd because I try to avoid her, but lately we have been having civil discussions and maybe even a hint of humor and slight fun.
But she has told her mom how "happy" she is, and she does seem genuinely happy sometimes. But I WILL take your word for it that she feels miserable. It is just REALLY hard to see, if at all.

the more negative she talks, the more miserable she feels internally
She doesn't talk negatively. She always seems very happy, and when talking to her mom, she seems genuinely in a good mood and ALWAYS speaks in positive phrasing. NEVER "I hate him" ect, but rather "I feel so good about doing XXX myself" or "I am doing so well".
But just now I saw her out in the back leaning on the rail with her head in her hands, most likely crying. I think.
Oh and her mom told her that Retrouvaille was definitely a good idea.
