The problem I see is her children having two different fathers. The impression I'm getting from this debate is that only Diana's desires matter. Diana may be a child but she's part of this strange family and shouldn't be put above everyone else. It almost seems like what Diana wants should matter more to Adalind than what Kelly wants or needs.Thank you. After reading everyone's comments you voiced what I was too frustrated to say. Diana will never have the happy family she wants that's the reality, irrespective of Nick being in Adalind's life. And her needs honestly don't outweigh Kelly's. It's not like she's never going to see Sean or spend time with him now that she's living at the loft. When Adalind moved in with Nick she wasn't in a relationship, so it was far easier to upend her life for Kelly's sake. The situation with Diana is completely different and even more complex. Giving in to every one of Diana's demands will not always be the best thing for her. The only thing they can do is be honest with her about the reality of their situation and not stop her from being with her father.
Adalind trying to make things work with Sean is a prime example. She was threatened into that situation and that's not good for anyone. It won't work out with Sean for precisely that reason. The best thing they could do now is have Diana spend time with Sean and go out together with Adalind and sometimes Kelly as a unit on occasion but they should not be living together. That's an abusive relationship that won't do them any favors.
The truth of the situation is Adalind wants to be with Nick and she feels he's a trustworthy guy. Of all the despicable things she has done, this isn't one of them. It's not lime she's ignoring Diana for Nick considering she left Nick and went to Renard for Diana.
I thought Adalind having some agency in her life was a good thing. Adalind living in a trapped life with Renard is the opposite of that. She deserves the blame for a lot of things but I'm not going to sit here and say things not working out with Sean is her fault. Adalind and her children were threatened and Sean wanted Adalind and the kids together to bolster his family image rather than solely for their well-being. They've been treated like accessories and that is not an ideal way to live.
