Morgan’s ordeal at the hands of the evil Rodney was chronicled in the Lifetime movie, Gaslit By My Husband.
The brave mother worked alongside the film’s cast and producers.

What happened to Morgan Metzer?
Ahead of the release of Gaslit By My Husband, Morgan spoke to The Sun and detailed how her nightmare unfolded on December 31, 2020.
She revealed how Rodney Metzer tied her hands and attacked her while wearing a Batman mask to distort his voice and hide his identity.
The attack was so severe that Morgan feared for his life, saying: “I knew I was going to die.”
Rodney punched and strangled Morgan, who still had no idea of the attacker’s identity.
But when he continued to attack his ex-wife and insult her, saying how much she would “miss her family and her husband,” Morgan’s quick thinking changed his tone in an instant.

She used reverse psychology and told him how much she “loved her husband.”
Morgan said: “Instantly the whole mood in the room changed. I wasn’t going to die.
“He then decided to pretend he was stealing jewelry or bags, stealing my phone or something.
“He started acting like a real thief, not a murderer.”
During the trial, I made sure he looked me in the eye the entire time. When I got out of that position, I felt like a completely new person.

Morgan was then dragged out into the freezing Georgia night and had a pillowcase placed over her head.
Rodney warned her that she would be shot if there was any attempt to escape while he fled.
However, he soon returned to the scene and pretended to be shocked by Morgan’s condition.
The police arrived and after a long investigation, they realized that the intruder was Rodney himself.

It has since been revealed that Rodney was a master manipulator and Morgan said he couldn’t accept the divorce, quickly becoming “strange and stalkerish”.
His mental state was further revealed after he insisted on a false diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, delivered to his ex-wife a few days before the attack.
Despite moving on with her life, Morgan told The Sun that the nightmare still haunts her and revealed that she “can still hear that voice”.

Gas lighting
Manipulation it’s essentially a control tactic used to manipulate other people, using deceptive behavior to make you doubt your own sanity.
It often makes the victim feel like they are going crazy and begin to question their actions, while explaining their own.
Victims often begin to question their memory and perception as a result of psychological manipulation, with gaslighters tending to twist words or convince victims that they said or did something they did not do.
They will try to make you seem irrational or irrational, distorting reality to make you feel guilty – trivializing your feelings and excusing their own bad behavior.
The term ‘gaslighting’ originated from the 1944 film Gaslight, starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer.
In the film, a husband convinces his wife that she has gone crazy.
