The couple loses their first child shortly after birth but are overjoyed when they have twins a year later. Tensions began to rise when Rodney loses his job and goes into debt. Rodney blames their fights on Morgan’s drinking – even if she’d only had one – and convinces Morgan that she pushed him down the stairs in a blackout rage. The couple finally separates, and Morgan’s life begins to turn around, until Rodney gets diagnosed with cancer. Not long after, a masked intruder breaks into Morgan’s home and assaults her. Rodney shows up only minutes after the intruder is gone; when authorities question him, Rodney’s story doesn’t seem to be adding up. Does Rodney really have cancer and is he the hero that he claims to be, or has he been gaslighting Morgan for decades?

The chilling narrative behind “Gaslit By My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story” is rooted in the harrowing real-life events experienced by Morgan Metzer, a woman who found herself ensnared in a terrifying web of deceit and manipulation at the hands of her husband, Rodney Metzer. In the quiet town of Canton, Georgia, what started as a love story between high school sweethearts took a dark turn, leading to a shocking crime that captivated the nation. The couple’s tumultuous relationship, marked by emotional abuse and manipulation, culminated in a harrowing incident on New Year’s Day 2021, setting the stage for a true crime saga that exposes the horrifying depths of psychological manipulation.

Morgan’s ordeal began when she awoke to find a masked intruder in her home, who brutally assaulted her before leaving her bound and beaten. As the investigation unfolded, it became clear that the attacker was none other than her recently divorced husband, Rodney. Using sophisticated methods to disguise his identity, including altering his voice and staging the scene to look like a break-in, Rodney orchestrated the attack with chilling precision. His motives were complex, rooted in control and domination, revealing a sinister aspect of his personality that Morgan had begun to suspect but could hardly fathom in its full darkness.

The case against Rodney Metzer drew national attention as details of his deceit came to light, including his attempts to gaslight Morgan into questioning her sanity and reality. His elaborate scheme involved faking a cancer diagnosis to elicit sympathy and manipulating Morgan’s perceptions of their past conflicts. The investigation and subsequent trial peeled back the layers of Rodney’s manipulation, offering a stark example of gaslighting in a domestic setting. As the story of Morgan’s fight for justice and recovery unfolds, it serves as a powerful reminder of the hidden dangers of psychological abuse and the strength it takes to escape the shadow of gaslighting.
