If you re-read my post, you'll see I used the term "magically change"...
I didn't say people never change, or cease to change after a certain age.
My apologies if I was unclear, but what I meant is
without provocation.
Nothing you've said or done has inspired or provoked her to change her behaviour, she describes her behaviour as simply being human, thus I don't see her changing of her own volition.
You said it yourself when describing your own changes, you were provoked. Even I myself, I was drastically provoked into changing my maladaptive behaviors into healthier ones.
