Gaslighting Man "Rescues" Ex-Wife After Brutal Home Invasion | Rodney and Morgan Metzer 

Nah, as soon as I saw the thumbnail, I started speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this.

I'm not sure why her parents didn't call the police when a 19 year old started dating their 14 year old.

I’ll take stupid plans that have absolutely no chance of succeeding for 600 please.

He couldn't accept not having complete control over her; now, he will have no control over anybody for 20-25 years.

An adult man dating a 14 yr old child is creepy af 🚩

Rod was also EXCEEDINGLY creepy. I'm glad Morgan survived - this was a better outcome than I expected, though still awful. Another great case breakdown, Dr. G.

I knew a woman who escaped from a similar abuser. Her husband would come home from work angry, verbally abuse her until she said something back and then beat her senseless. He told her that it was her own fault because she couldn't keep her mouth shut. One day she decided to not react, no matter how bad the verbal abuse. After 45 minutes of verbal abuse, he beat her anyway. When she said, "But I didn't say anything." He said, "But you were thinking it." That's when she knew at that he would end up killing her if she didn't get out of the marriage. When he left for work, she packed up everything she could fit into her car and left. She heard through family that he was looking for her "to beat her within an inch of her life" for embarrassing him by leaving. She moved two states away and lived in fear that he would find her and kill her.

Gaslighting is really dangerous. Escape the first time you’re a victim of it

Rodney's ego was the most important thing in the world to him. And people that pretend to have illnesses, like cancer, disgust me.

She was only 14 at the start! No victim blaming. She should have had more support and protection

This one hits home. My ex husband said he was dying of cancer to cover up his drug use, told my family the same lie 😬Then he threatened me with a rifle...luckily he didn't act on that. Great breakdown again of another sad case. Thanks Dr G😊🖤🖤

Nice to see someone survive a Dr Grande video

It makes me wonder what percentage of women are married to men like Rod. Thanks for the great critique Doc. 😊 Acutely accurate as usual.

So glad he ended up in jail and that Morgan and her children are safe - at least for the next 20 years.

Now for my analysis: glitter does indeed go everywhere and makes a mess.

She had no dating experience just the way he wanted it.

This is just like the Riley Gaul story. Riley tried these same tactics on his ex girlfriend, except in that case it ended in murder. How sad.

He couldn't deal with real issues, so he kept creating some he thought he would, huh Ironically, getting himself arrested saved her in a way, so kudos to him, I guess.

So, is my math right…? He was 19 years old (old enough to be a college sophomore) dating a 14-year-old? (possibly an 8th-grader)? That in itself seems pretty creepy. 🤮

Bro manipulating someone is an unsustainable way to maintain a relationship. U have to become a better person and think about the happiness of the other person not just your own. And some relationships just aren't meant to be

I know it's wholly unprofessional of me but I wrote "women with a clothing deficit" in my clinical notes yesterday 😂

So many crazies out there. Best not to allow your emotions to over ride logic.

Okay... so can his sentence include that his jail job is managing supplies for arts & crafts, specifically ALL THE GLITTER? 🎊🎇❇✨🤣

Spoiler!!! I am always so relieved to see a story that doesn’t end in a massacre, and with the perpetrator safely behind bars.🙏That said, I’m astonished at the strength of this woman! Married at 18 yrs old, lost her first baby, then managing to survive this profoundly disturbed man? Just incredible. I pray she can finally find peace knowing he’s in jail and can’t physically hurt her (or those kids!) anymore🙏

I had an ex who was exactly like this & I could see him doing just this tactic. It's creepy. He even poisoned my food once just to "save" me & take care of me to show me how good of a guy he was.

Shes lucky to be alive

funny how u can tell a narcassist in like 1 second of looking at their own images

Dear Dr G, a terrific informative annalysis. Especially the reasons you found as to why he did not kill Morgan. I agree, and that she did not understand that he was dangerous. Luckily she lives on and the children still have their mother with an absence of their father. So the end result is good. Rodney is no longer a danger in her life and is not in the children's lives too. Lucky for Morgan as she likely would never be safe or free of him. Great choice of case to analyise. Many kind thanks, from Australia.

Given she was just a very, very young child when they started dating, she probably grew up and became her own person that he could no longer easily manipulate and control, hence the rage outbursts. I am glad she and the kids survived.

I'm consistently shocked at how stupid these people's plans are. There was never any chance that this would work. How did he manage to convince himself that this was good idea?

Excellent work, as always Dr Grande ❤❤❤❤

So glad she is alive and he is behind bars!!!

What an awful man. When he starts screaming in jail, someone with a strong grip and a big back will whisper from behind ‘Shhhh, you’re just being dramatic’.

I think after watching enough of your episodes i can see the pattern of those fragile personalities who are insecure and will go as far as harming wife or children just to protect their fragile ego

I've never heard Dr. Grande list more negative traits than he does in this case.

Not a hot Rod

All these cases highlight just how simple minded most of these criminals are! Such fantasy like thinking. Like if it’s believable by them then everyone will believe them!

Millions and millions of women in the world, leave that * one * that wants nothing to do with you alone!

He chose a child to manipulate and control. Were her parents OK with it?

Why is Rod Smiling? The Gothic Horror of Imbecility "...I heard a gentle tapping, tapping at my chamber door..." Poe has informed all of us that Gothic literature requires a deep focus on the inner emptiness we all live with. In this dramatic case presented in a highly analytical manner, Dr. Grande verifies the truth of Poe's fascination with morbidity. In the account and including the smile, we see only two people. The world as we know it is in total eclipse. They lived in a psychological dungeon unrelieved by any light from above, or even just ordinary daylight. This is certainly another addition to the ever expanding Gothic literature of darkness.

What’s happening now? Thanks for all the excellent videos, Grande. ❤ Much appreciation!

Holy smokes... The whole time I was watching this video, I kept thinking "please tell me he didn't kill her, I just can't handle this right now..." Thankfully he didn't because I would've went in my backyard and cried lol...

Yep, playing with glitter sure does make a mess!

😮😮 There's a similar crazy case like this. The guy did it because his girlfriend wanted to be celibate until after they got married, the guy was impatient and stagged a kidnapping and suggest s3x before they were k1ll3d.

I like your cactus garden

dude......."create a wound" is a hell of a workaround phrase. that's actually one that has a serious, sober sound to it

He was nineteen while she was fourteen.. yeah.. gaslighting isn't the only thing he did! Wow.

Some people just can't let go.

Remember people - if you’re going to look up incrementing things on the Internet, be sure a borrow a friend’s cell phone to do it on.

hopefully Morgan can find a man that will truly win her heart she needs to use this as an opportunity to make meaningful changes including becoming less naive in relationships

I'm wondering why you didn't mention that he SAd Morgan during the attack? It makes the whole thing more insidious

I counted twenty negative qualities attributed to Rod. 😂

Another great analysis, thanks! Why don't you do the OCEAN analysis any more? Very useful. Missing it

Excellent, enjoyable watch. Thank you.

Dr Todd DRAGGED Rod with that description

I'm pretty certain that I could dress in a gorilla suit, and my SO would recognise me in the dark, just by the way that I moved. There's one way to find out.

I think Morgan's quick thinking also helped save her life. She managed to say the right thing - a loving comment about her husband - at the right moment

Now that was a proper sentence, and a good fit for the crime

It is a real tragedy that so many women have to become involved with guys like that. Also, because it is so hard for them to get out of situations like that and then on top of that they had kids! Good thing that this kind of behavior carries a long prison sentence...

Thanks Dr. Grande

Doesn’t that glitter around the holidays make you crazy? It may be April or May and you’re still dealing with it. Thanks, Doc.

Just a reminder, I'm not commenting on this video, only speculating on what a comment might look like on a video like this 😂

Always creeps me out when there’s such an age difference in the relationship, at such a young age.

Just RODiculous🤯

Always interesting Thank you ❤

Good video. Very weird and scary guy. Would love to hear your OCEAN analysis of this, please consider doing them again

Thank you, Dr. Grande. Glitter is the bane of my existence.

Not s sceric of insight between them. I'm glad she got out alive and he's no longer her problem.

Rodney looks like the person who called me racial slurs in halo 3 odst all those years ago

Dr. G - "What do I think happened in this case? This is just a theory, my opinion....." Me: Here we go!!!!......

I 'rescued' my now wife from someone just like that. Same story, naive, innocent, first 'real' boyfriend, first sexual partner. With nothing to compare the relationship with, gaslighting aplenty, deliberate isolation from her parents and sisters, and two children to protect with nowhere to go; it was a nightmare at home and false smiles to the world. I got her and her children out of there. She is very happy now but still bears the emotional scars of those 20+ years of hell. The now ex husband is scared of me but still tries to play mind games with her as court orders insist he must have a meaningful relationship with the children. Ever the Narcissist, he uses this avenue to manipulate her and make her feel worthless. He's a grub.

He was 19 years old "dating and sexual active" with a 14 year old girl. Love Ya Georgia.

Nice button-down shirt Dr. Grande

I love how Dr Grande gets faster as he goes down the adjective list 😂

Rodd watched waaaay too many 90s sitcoms.

Rod: *buys zip ties for absolutely no reason* Also Rod: “Officer, I have no idea what these things are!”

Narcissistic abuse is the worst. Just glad she survived it.

Thanks Dr Grande, an interesting thought that “the view from the inside of a marriage is a lot cloudier”

Thank you again Dr. Grande 🙏

I do wonder why she didn't mention this horrible abuse he inflicted on her on the TC interview. She said that he was so nice. Not defending him in any shape or form; but he was obviously a lot more violent than she let on in that interview?

Rod . . . maybe move to another town so you can get her out of your head (too late now)

Those poor kids must have been so traumatised by their dangerously sick father.

That's a sucker move for him to fake that deadly illness as a way to get back with her through guilt and pity. I know someone personally who had pancreatic cancer and died from it.

Hey Dr. Grande, you should do a video on Earl Leonard Nelson. He was a serial killer from the 20s. Very sad story.

"Zip ties? I ain't ever heard of them."- Rod

10:13 Yeah, but what do you REALLY think of Rod? ;-)

When you look at the world through rose tinted glasses, red flags just look like flags. Glad she made it out in one piece.

All of these toxic relationships show good reason to focus on higher education first and foremost so you're independent and have time to grow as a person before entering into a relationship and bearing children - maybe channels like this one will be a shining light - because the world sure isn't a perfect place and we all can learn positive ways to maneuver through it.

This was super BIAS!!! They never even found the mystery intruder! 😡😡😡

Showing up on holidays even though they were divorced aka the George Costanza😜

Morgan, at 14, did not have the experience to recognize a dangerously demented person. Narcissists consider a hello as true love and never accept that they are not better than others. If rejected and commit offenses, their arrogant mind cannot accept their faults and transfer faults to their victims.

Morgan is fortunate to be alive. It is a shame that her parents did not intervene in the early stages of the 19-14 yo relationship. If they had done so she might have been able to pursue a healthy relationship when she had gained more maturity.

Glitter, the herpes of the craft world. Dimitri Martin

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Terrance Howard

Hi Dr Grande - please could you analyse the case of Dr Michael Mosley’s death

Her "friends..." Way to abandon someone at risk.

Please ladies when you are dating a guy who suddenly gets angry and yells, run the other way. You will never change him. It is just some baggage that he has and unless he's willing to seek anger therapy or whatever, the fighting just gets worse. My ex-husband had a huge temper and he would become irrational when he got angry. It was scary. Finally I realized he had a lot of unresolved issues from his childhood and I actually get very scared when people yell at me. Hence, he is my EX. Too many women try to stick it out with their husbands hoping they will change because he would end up apologizing and promise not to do it again. But, it never ended. Just be safe.

This could’ve gone so wrong..him having disdain for the kids he could’ve murdered them. Dude needs to stay in that jail the whole 20 years.

Can you cover Takoda Collins?

She need the classes on healing from Narcissistic Abuse. 😢
