If you’ve been keeping up with Jenelle Evans and David Eason and their marriage, then this may come as a shock to you …

But things aren’t going so hot right now.

… Wait, what’s that you say?

Their marriage has always been a mess, and their relationship before they got married was a mess, too?

We can’t expect Jenelle to have a healthy relationship because she never, ever has?

Fair points.

Jenelle always picks the worst guys, and David is certainly no exception.

When they first started dating and he began appearing on Teen Mom 2, he was weirdly aggressive, and he also did his best to alienate her from other people.

He was mean to her kids.

He was mean to her mom.

He was practically mean – and forbade her to speak to – Nathan Griffith, even though they share a son, Kaiser.

Oh, and let’s not forget that his ex had a restraining order against him for allegedly being violent with her while she was pregnant with their child.

Things didn’t get better after they got married, either.

There’s always been rumors and speculation that he’s been abusive towards her, but she confirmed that back in October when she called 911 after a fight.

As she told the operator through sobs, he knocked her to the ground so hard that she thought she heard her collarbone snap.

She went to the hospital that night, but since then, she’s been insisting that he didn’t hurt her.

Since then, they’ve been a little extra affectionate with each other, even going on a cross-country road trip without their children.

But for the past week or so, they’ve been unfollowing, re-following and unfollowing each other again on Instagram.

And if that’s not a sign of trouble, we don’t know what is … but then this happened:

We still don’t know exactly what’s going on, although Jenelle did post a crying emoji to her Instagram story this morning.

But thanks to this new video David shared yesterday (above), we’re very, very terrified.

Yeah, so that’s David shooting an assault rifle in his yard.

In his caption, he wrote "They will say I’ve gone off the deep end just wait for it!"

Most people wouldn’t say that, though, because he’s very obviously been off the deep end for a long time now.

But thanks for trying, Dave!

In the comments, he claimed that he was shooting at mosquitos, and when someone asked why he has a gun like this, he replied:

"To piss off people like you."

And then when someone else told him that this wasn’t the best example to set for his kids, he said "That’s how they learn around here."

Another person commented with "You don’t have much to do, do ya?"

"Yea, I got a lot of guns to shoot," he answered.

It’s all just so weird and awful and tragic and upsetting, and so many other bad things.

Like, in the time it took to write this, Jenelle deleted her sad-face emoji and followed David again, but as of this very second, he’s still not following her.

Whatever is going on down in North Carolina, it’s clearly not great.

We just hope that Jenelle and the kids are safe, and that David somehow manages to calm down and work on all the many, many things that are wrong with him.

And yeah, that may be kind of stretch, we’re keenly aware of that fact … but what is life without dreams?

Believe in something.
