According to Nick's character profile, he was born in 1982. If Kelly was the same age as Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, she was 24 when Nick was born. Kelly told Nick that Marie and her father took her on her first hunt when she was 18. So Kelly had at most four or five years as a Grimm before she met and married Reed and had Nick and apparently became a mom living in the burbs.
The Kelly who eventually showed up in Portland was the result of 18 years of living out in the cold. And 18 years of reflecting on the past and accepting or maybe just rationalizing her choices.
By the time Nick got to hear his mom's story, he was up to his neck in deceiving his girlfriend and his partner about his grimm-ness, and it probably made way more sense to him than it would have a year earlier.
