No, it's not. And I disagree with your statement. I don't recall Rosalee ever confronting Monroe about eating humans. When she met him, he'd already been a confirmed vegetarian. The only one who ever approached him about it, and in my opinion, unfairly, was Nick.

Why does Nick have to "accept" Adalind becoming a hexenbiest again? She didn't have to "accept" him becoming a grimm again.

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.
If Nick and the kids were a catalyst for Adalind to grow, then they failed because she stagnated around them. But really, what does Adalind being a hexenbiest have to do with any of this? Her bad decisions were based on what she wanted to do, not her hexenbiest heritage.

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.
Adalind didn't practice restraint, Adalind was afraid of being a hexenbiest, mainly due to Nick's reaction.
But here are some questions. Why is it that Adalind should practice restraint from being a hexenbiest? Are you saying that the hexenbiest is basically an evil controller of its host? If that's the case, then why is Juliette blamed for her deeds rather than the hexenbiest spirit?
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
