Exactly what she taught Adalind regarding moral questions is unclear, but it’s probably not what normal people tell their kids. All we really know is that Catherine educated Adalind in spells and potions.
Adalind's attributes and beliefs are not murky ones. She ran the gamut from conspiracy to murder and liked it. It's pretty clear Adalind didn't have much of a moral compass.

Of course, Adalind was free to leave the fome at any time. Did you expect Nick to keep her in cage? It’s true that Adalind was depending on Nick initially, but towards the end of season 5, the relationship was put to the test. When Adalind was forced to leave, Nick fought to get her back. And Adalind was given the opportunity to stay at the Mayor’s Mansion, but instead moved back to Nick’s loft. They both made an active choose to be together.
I expect that both Nick and Adalind are free to do as they choose. Adalind got pregnant with Nick's kid. He invited her to stay with him as she had nowhere to go. That is guest status. As far as the series goes, they slept together, but I don't recall the two of them sitting down one day and questioning where their playing house was going.

Adalind didn't become anything other than Nick's domestic houseguest with benefits. There has to be more to becoming a good person than just being willing to just get along with Nick and the scoobies.

Adalind was completely loyal to Nick when she had the opportunity to betray him. Renard wanted to sleep with Adalind in season 5, so if she was the manipulative survivor you claim, why did she kick Renard’s ass and declare: “I'm not the same Hexenbiest I was”, making Renard respond: “You must have fallen harder for Burkhardt than I thought”? She also tells Bonaparte that Nick “was good to me, and he didn't have to be. Don't ask me to betray him”.
Yet, there's still the sticky issue of why Adalind went back in the first place. I get that she wants to see her daughter. What I don't get is why even bother making such a statement about betraying Nick to Bonaparte? That is absolute fluff and Bonaparte knew it. All Bonaparte had to do was dangle Diana in front of Adalind, and he not only got her, but baby Kelly as well.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
