On the other hand, who of us really can state with any certainty that Adalind was wrong? She may have spent the rest of her days terrified of the hexenbiest.
I don't know how Adalind lying about what the Hexenbiest does to a person would be beneficial to fighting for herself and her baby. She would only lie if she wanted Rosalee and Nick to believe her. It wouldn't be optimal if they wholeheartedly believed what she had to say because they would always be walking on eggshells around her at the very least. They would have the thought about Adalind being up to no good in the back of their minds.
Adalind may have still worried about the Hexenbiest in the future but there wasn't anything alarming happening since she got it back in the final season and a half. There was never a hint of her straying to the dark side. It's an assumption but I don't get the impression her Hexenbiest was a major problem for her in those twenty years.
It depends on whether you believe her when she confided her fear of the hexenbiest returning to Rosalee. If you believe it, then according to Adalind, the hexenbiest is in control. In other words, she's telling the truth.
If you don't believe it, then the only thing left is she's lying. There is no in between.
