Dakota Meyer Goes Off the Rails on Bristol Palin in Heated Instagram Rant
Things just seem to go from bad to worse between these two. Bristol Palin and Dakota Meyer's decision to finally end their marriage aired on Teen Mom OG, and it seems like Dakota is pretty upset about the way the network has portrayed him. He lashed out pretty harshly against Bristol this week, going so far as to call her a "cancer."
Bristol and Dakota divorced over the summer, but we're just now getting to watch it play out on the new season of Teen Mom OG.
Dakota's PTSD has certainly been an issue, and he even admitted to calling her terrible things and treating her badly during his episodes. They've been going through the process of splitting on the show, and according to Dakota, he feels like he's cut a cancer out of his life.
According to The Ashley, the Medal of Honor winner uploaded a series of videos to his Instagram story this week, slamming his former wife for being so difficult to live with. He said, "When you get rid of the cancer in your life, you can go live. ... We talk about anxiety, do you know how many shots I've had to get in my neck [for anxiety] lately? None. Since Bristol moved out of my house I haven't had to get any shots in my neck. I haven't had to take any Ketamine. I haven't had to take any medication…"
Dakota also addressed why he hasn't maintained a relationship with his stepson Tripp since the divorce.
Bristol mentioned on the show that Dakota hadn't made any effort to reach out to 9-year-old Tripp (whom she shares with ex Levi Johnston) and that he was "crushed" by it. Dakota claimed that she's actually the one keeping Tripp from him, saying, "I never got the opportunity to [maintain my relationship with Tripp after my divorce]. I don't have custody of Tripp. It's hard enough for his own dad to get to see him!"
Dakota continued, "When you have a stepchild you don't get the rights to that stepchild when you get divorced. If they're under 18 you have to go through their mother to get them. Everything is everyone else's fault with her. Am I supposed to call Tripp up and mess with his mind and then when Bristol's pissed with me, she's not going to let me see him? I'm not going to mess with him. He's had enough of that."
Note to Dakota: It's not "messing" with Tripp's mind to reach out to him and let him know he's wanted and cared about. Just saying.
He even said that marrying his ex-wife was a "mistake."
He added in his video rant, "Do I think marrying Bristol was a mistake? I can give you the good answer, yeah, [but] I got my two kids out of it. Of course I love my daughters, but there's no reason me and Bristol should have gotten married. But I'm glad we did ... in every mistake comes something good."
"Before Bristol I couldn't have appreciated a good woman in my life," he continued. "But now, [after] being treated like s**t by somebody, I understand what it's like to be treated terrible and not have someone give a s**t about you and be stuck with them, and have to put up with that. I think it was a plan by God of working on me. I don't think it was a mistake. I think it was God using her to put me in a situation that sucked real bad and to be worked on."
It sounds like Dakota still has a lot of anger and resentment built up about his marriage and divorce.
All we're saying is that a little discretion goes a long way, and it's probably not a good idea for his daughters to be reading about how he called their mom a "cancer" someday.
