Looking at it from Mari's perspective. Being a Grimm she lost her dad. Her sister was on the run. She had to give up the guy she was planning to marry. Yes the sow does not directly attribute these things to being a Grimm. In fact it never really states how her parents died. It also never explains exactly why she broke of her engagement. But if these things where true it would support the reason why she feels the way she does.
But you compare this to Kelly, who seemed to embrace who and what see was. Rolex rejected being a Grimm but did not seem to regret it. From what we saw he seemed to find a way to have a none eventful life. I did not get the impression that Josh lived a life of always being in danger. It seemed like the veratte attack was the first attack he had ever experienced. Now compare this to Trubels life which seemed to be one attack after another even though she was not out looking for trouble like Nick does as a cop.
Someone asked a question on a previous post. Why do Grimms hunt wesen. In the past I suggested it was villages sought them out to handle the unexplained. But what would motivate a modern day Grimm. What motivated Mari after raising Nick to go back to being a Grimm. That is assuming Mari did go back to being a Grimm. WE don't know that she did. Her activities after raising Nick may have all been driven by the reputation she had developed. It may have been wesen retaliating for things done to other family members.
The show is very ambiguous when it comes to explaining motivation or the psychology, or beliefs of the characters. I think that is what drives a lot of the inferences, people trying to understand the character. I will admit the writers could have done better on character development. Sure would have cut down on a lot of the speculation. But then G&K seem to like creating a platform that lends itself to foster the creating of fan fiction. Even watching the interviews G&K seem to like to let the viewer define the show they way the viewer wants to see it. G&K never answer a question in the definitive. They always frame the acknowledgement of a question in the frame work of it being a possible theory. That is why I find it interesting when people take this ambiguity as factual writer intent.
