No, it's not only misdeeds. In the other thread you wrote how Nick started seeing Adalind as more than just the mother to his son. Well, what exactly is Nick seeing? Just what he wants to see? Shouldn't a big part of what he sees include her hexenbiest heritage? If this is the great and wonderful union that produced a hybrid son, why should Adalind have to shy away? Juliette/Eve gets criticized for embracing the hexenbiest, like it's some form of cancer because she does so whenever she wants. Adalind doesn't embrace it like Eve does, and so all she's praised for is how great she gets along with Nick, like that's all she's good for. Hexenbiests are not entire evil walking amongst the innocent. Adalind shouldn't be have to practice restraint. She should be able to utilize her hexenbiest whenever she so chooses. All I'm saying is it appears she shies away from it because it seems she's in an environment which consists of Nick and the kids, who appear to disapprove of her being a hexenbiest at all.
That's like saying that if Rosalee really loved Monroe, she should accept and encourage him to embrace everything about being a blutbad, including hunting down and eating humans. Nick was able to eventually accept Adalind becoming a hexenbiest again, although it took a bit of time for him to fully trust her. It's not that being able to get along well with Nick was the only thing that Adalind was good for. I just rewatched the series again. Nick and the kids were Adalind's redemption, they became the catalyst for her character to grow and become a better person. The evil Adalind was actually more pathetic than the one Nick had a relationship with. She tolerated being emotionally abused by the people she cared for, and was always in constant danger when she lived with the Royals. The only stable person who grew to accept and love her for who she really was, was Nick. Renard even commented that if he wasn't familiar with her personality, he would be in love with her. That comment must have been really painful to hear, but Adalind just smiled and took it and made some sarcastic remark. Like I said in other threads, I always felt that Adalind's bitchy side was her 'front' to the world, a kind of defence mechanism to hide her true feelings. I was glad to see her acting like a normal person with Nick.
Btw, there were already a few episodes that dealt with this issue about embracing the inner wesen. For each of those episodes the writers always showed that practicing restraint was a good thing, because not doing so would lead to a lot of negative consequences. Angelina chose to fully embrace her blutbad side and see where it got her.
