She could start by growing a spine. Right off hand, I can think of a couple of statements Adalind has made which she has never followed up on. The first was raising her children right. That's a real nice sentiment, but Adalind herself has never bothered to explain just exactly how she's going to raise her children right. What does right mean to her?
It was mentioned that poor pitiful Adalind has had to endure much at the hands of wire hanger mother Catherine. Okay, so? What exactly has Adalind done that is so completely different from Catherine? In other words, what has she done that's right?
The other thing Adalind made a big deal about was this hexenbiest. The hexenbiest she demanded. She was so terrified that it would take control, she was begging Rosalee not to tell Nick. We all know how that came out.
But if this hexenbiest is such a terror, why then hasn't Adalind done anything about it? For that matter, does it make good sense to use it just because Nick can't think of a better way to force Renard to be truthful? How is that helping Adalind to cope with this internal terror. At least it was an internal terror according to her.

Is she moving forward? It seems to me she's taken a huge step backward. She's relegated to the fome and is Nick's domestic partner who does what he wants. How is that progression for her character?

She got her powers back so blaming Nick is a moot point. Let's talk about someone a little more valuable to her than Nick; Diana.
I can't believe that a mother who states she's going to raise her children right doesn't house some hatred for the man who kidnapped one of them.

He does? I don't recall him expressing any concern over what he did. He certainly hasn't apologized for it.

So she's the Madonna now, because she had a baby?

The harder part has been forgiving themselves, but they're getting there. Because, if they spent their whole lives stuck in the past, how could they ever find a way forward.
Nick can't see past his shoelaces, so finding this so called inner greatness in Adalind is beyond his comprehension. As for spending their lives stuck in the past, if they're raising their children to be grimms, that's a good indication they never got out of the past.
You haven't answered the question why you hate Grimms?
