If I was face-to-face with the person who was responsible for the death of one of my parents and I was told to "stop living in the past," my first instinct would be to sock them across the jaw. You could argue that would only make Nick look like a hothead, but come on. He's talking to the woman who not only got his mom killed, but decapitated, and she's denying her accountability like a Nazi officer would deny accountability at the Nuremberg trials. It's disgusting, and completely indicative of the callous "nope, we're done with that, moving on now" attitude of the show's writing staff.
I understand your reaction to the betrayal. My reaction goes back further than that to character assassination. I know posters have tried to make some kind of connection between ""Juliette before hexenbiest"" and ""Juliette after hexenbiest"" as a way of justifying Juliette leaving and subsequently betraying Nick. But in my mind, there is no connection. Add to that further the idiocy of stating that while Nick and Renard had no idea they were being possessed, (and so could do whatever as a result), Juliette retained her memory and so, is absolutely responsible for her actions.
While I found her whiney at times, Juliette was always Nick's friend and confidante. She stayed with him, even after finding out about his becoming a grimm. So this story arc of ""Juliette takes potion, becomes hexenbiest, betrays Nick **but** is still the essential Juliette"" to me, makes no sense. "Before hexenbiest" Juliette didn't betray Nick and leaving him was never a consideration. She had the means in her grasp long before she became a hexenbiest.
I think the betrayal was a means of ridding the series of Kelly, bringing Diana temporarily into the picture while propelling a somewhat useless Adalind back into the story.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
