Nick does want to help Juliet, it's just that she actively strives to keep him at further than arms length. Yes, he didn't outright embrace her when she first informed him of being a hexenbeist, but truely, just imagine how shocking that would be, he'd be like wtf, the world just flipped (moreso considering he loves Juliet, and his opinion on Hexenbeists in general). He went to Henrietta not because he was, "Juliet, you must be normal because I wish it that way", but because at the time, she was in poor spirits with her transformation. He simply didn't want her resigning herself to a fate if she didn't want it.

Of course, with her sheer hate for Adalind, learning she's pregnant by Nick (Juliette does seem to be privately holding what happened with Adalind against Nick), and getting an immense amount of power in such a short span of time. Yes, Hexenbeists have been shown to be callous, but I don't believe it's being a Hexenbeist that makes one such, I think it's the power which goes to many Hexenbeist's heads, in the same way the Royals seem to act. Sean Renard & his mother would be exceptions to the rule, as their past experiences seem to have humbling ones. I can easily imagine Elizabeth being a bit like Adalind when she was having a fling with Sean's father, but becoming grounded as a person once forced to go on the run & having to protect her son.

Juliete's had the misfortune of having all the power come at once without growing into it (I imagine Hexenbeists usually grow into their power as they mature), having a lot of pressure in her personal life (Nick unknowlingly bedding Adalind & impregnating her, being told she's stuck being a Hexenbeist, and having cut herself off from all her friends). Having been alone, she seems to have found solace in the only things she had left, her newfound powers, and her resentment of Nick, Adalind, and anyone who seems to be worrying for her. Now the new Prince in town is taking advantage of her hate, and newfound attatchment to ther powers to exacerbate the negative traits that have been emerging in Juliette. I'm not saying Juliette's a bad person (despite the Prince seeking to take her down that road), it's just she's been utterly swept up in the sitations & passions around & within her, and has clung to the only things she's thought available to her as support. Really, at the moment, she's the most alive character on the show, though her liveliness seems to be a tragedy in the making (just look at Macbeth, he never really chose to embark on his path, it's only that once he came to, he found himself to far gone).
