You are getting it. Bond is dead on correct here. IMO, if she asks you about personal growth, just respond vaguely... "I'm learning a lot from all of this" ... and leave it at that... for now anyway. Denver
MrBond and Denver,
Thanks for the words. The changes are for me and I'm convinced of that, Mrbond. I guess I'm just torn between doing what I have always done with her, which is to be open when she starts a conversation, or to be vague and evade her questions.
With regards to "leaving it at that", my guess is she would show great interest and say:"Really so what exactly have you learned?"

To this she's likely to say:"Really? what have you discovered? What are you doing to change them?" When she asks like that, my answer can hardly be taken as pursuing, right? I mean, if she initiates this talk (which she has in the past in our FB correspondence) Is it ok to come clean and give her the details she asks for about what I'm doing to improve myself?
Thx every one for your advice.
