Divorce

David’s estranged wife, Jenelle Evans, revealed on Thursday, October 31 that she was leaving her husband. “I’ve mostly kept off social media the past few days because I’ve been focused on making some big life decisions,” she told fans.

Single

“I’ve lived my life on camera since I was 17 years old. And a lot of it hasn’t been pretty, but it’s been my life,” she continued. “Like anyone else, I want what’s best for my kids, and I want to be happy.”

Filing

“The kids and I have moved away from David,” Jenelle, 27, revealed. “Nobody gets into a marriage expecting it to end, but I know that’s what is best for me and for my kids. Today, I’ve filed papers to start that process.”

His Side

Since then, David, 31, has been lashing out on social media. The weekend following the news, he shared an article claiming Jenelle was planning to fight for full custody.

Officials

Radar Online even reported he tried to file a missing persons report for his estranged wife and daughter because he couldn’t contact them after they left.

Contact

Now, Jenelle’s out-of-state move isn’t what’s keeping him from contacting his family. Instead, a temporary restraining order is doing the job.

Danger

“Because of his recent threats, his history of violence, his erratic behavior and his large stockpile of weapons, I am scared for my life and my children’s well-being,” Jenelle wrote in the paperwork.

Weapons

Now, in lieu of calling his ex stupid on Instagram, he’s making more weapons as his new coping mechanism. After starting a “custom metal and woodwork” company in August, he’s taken to Instagram to show off his new knives.

DIY

“This is my meditation,” he told fans on Instagram. “It heals my soul to create things. I just can’t wait to make the next one, make it better and get that much more gratification.”

Support

The post was met by messages of support and love from fans. “As cooking is my medication,” one wrote. “I know the feeling, brother. That’s a bad ass piece you created.”

Feelings

Recently, the star seems to be attempting to show off a more vulnerable side of himself online. One day earlier, he reminisced about his marriage as he posted about his wedding ring.
