That's the point I was trying to make so that's why I didn't think Adalind was lying. The end result didn't erase what she really felt at the time.

I'm paraphrasing here, but you indicated that when Adalind lost her hexenbiest, she immediately set out to get another. Her admission to Rosalee doesn't mesh with her determination to get another hexenbiest so quickly after losing the first one.
The Adalind of season 2 is different from the Adalind of season 5. That Adalind didn't have any children and wasn't even close to reforming yet. She felt her identity was tied up with the Hexenbiest and she felt loss and powerless. Remember that her mother and Renard disowned her when she lost it. That had to be the most devastating experience of her life so wanted to get her powers back.
However, things started to change when she had Diana. She had someone to worry about other than herself. She became the most important thing in her world. Diana then was taken from her and that became the most devastating experience of her life. She then had Kelly. Adalind now had a family that was much better than the one she used to have and her Hexenbiest wasn't what she felt defined her anymore.
Adalind simply changed over time. Her priorities shifted. She didn't want her Hexenbiest back because she truly felt like it caused a lot of harm looking back at her life.
