Life history

  • Early Life

    Born March 23, 1985 in Bristol, England, Gemma's life was by no means easy. Born to David and Marianne Fletcher, Gem was the baby of the family. Her older brother, Jacob, was already 10 by the time she was born. Once he reached 16 years of age, he escaped the household to enlist in the British Armed Forces.

    Home life was not great. As Gemma grew up, she discovered that her mother was emotionally absent. She would find out much later in life that her mother had suffered undiagnosed postpartum depression after birth, and had never fully recovered. Her father, sensing a change in her mother, began to drink more, until it was far too late to quit. Doing so made her life from age 6 to 10 a living nightmare.

    Her father would often come home drunk from the pub, and would abuse her mother and herself often. It was not uncommon for Gemma to appear at school the next day with fresh bruises or cuts. At one point, the school sent Social Services to her home to assess if there were any troubles, but the system failed her that day. Finding nothing supposedly wrong in the house, her father acting on his 'best' behavior, she was left to fend for herself.

    So, for the next 4 years, Gem survived the onslaught of psychological warfare brought on by abuse from her father, and a lack of affection or care from her mother. Eventually, on her 10th birthday, she discovered her father in bed with another woman. He forced her to keep her mouth shut, which she agreed to, not that she cared to tell the mother that barely raised her.

    One night, a month later, Gemma's father pushed her buttons a little too far, and she blabbed to her mother, at the dinner table, about the sordid affair. After a rather vicious fight between her parents, her mother went upstairs to pack her things. It was then that her father pounced, grabbing a thick sewing needle and twine, before pinning the small child to the ground. He sewed her mouth shut, pulling the twine so tight that it cut into her skin.

    By the time cops had arrived, the skin had partially healed over, and removing the twine reopened the cuts, leaving behind permanent scars. Shortly after this, Gemma came home to find her mother hanging from the second story railing. Custody was given to Jacob, who had come off deployment. He took her in, and raised her until she was 16.

    When the 9/11 attacks happened, Gemma had turned 16. With the help of her brother, who was about to redeploy, she enlisted in the British Armed Forces, leaving her old life behind.
