Please tell us a little bit about yourself, and your family if appropriate, and why you are applying to The Hawthorne Project.

Hi. I am Abagail Unruh. I met my husband Micah in high school. He was captain of the football team and I was captain of the cheer leading squad. It was expected that we would date. I feel head over heals for Micah, who was so loving and kind and gentle. There were no signs of the man I now know. We were married right out of high school. Lily and Byron were born within a year of our wedding, and are now 15. Chloe was born when the twins were 7. When the twins were 9 and Chloe was 2, Micah got injured on the field, and could no longer play football. He started drinking, and has been so angry ever since. He drank his way through all the money he earned playing football. When the money started to run low he got even angrier. The first time he hit me I was so shocked I didn't know what to do. I thought it was just a one time thing because of the stress he was under. Then it happened again and again. He never did anything in front of the kids. It was always when we were alone, or in our room. I stayed because I didn't want anyone to know. I was so ashamed and was sure I had done something wrong every time. Then one day Byron got caught cheating on a test, and was suspended for 3 days from school. Micah was so angry, and started pushing Byron around. Lily screamed at him to stop, and called the police. I was picking Chloe up from school. Micah was charged with assault, and I reported him for abusing me for the last 5 1/2 years. That was 6 month ago. He is now in jail and our divorce was just finalized. After Micah got charged the police took the kids and I to a transition house. After Micah went to jail I found out he had taken out a loan against the mortgage, and had been gamboling away everything we owned. The mortgage went into foreclosure and we lost the house. We had to sell everything to pay off his gamboling debts. I am applying to the Hawthorn Project to get a fresh start for me and my kids. I just want to be the best parent I can be to them, and teach them that when life gets hard, there is always a reason to hope. We have been going to family and individual counseling, which is really helping. Since leaving the transition house 3 months ago we have been living with my sister and her husband. They have a basement apartment that we have been using, but they need to rent it out for income since my sister will be on maternity leave soon. I have a job interview as a dishwasher tomorrow, and I am pretty sure I will get it. I have always been a good cook.


Tell us about your ideal home space: (You can use images if you wish)

Well, we don't need anything elaborate. We just need a roof over our heads. We need at least three bedrooms. The girls can share a room if they need to. I know Lily would really like her own room, with a small space to practice her music, but she understands that we all have to sacrifice sometimes. Chloe is very smart, and wants to be a dr some day, so will need a place to study and work on her logic. Byron should have his own room being the only boy. He is athletic just like his dad. He wants to join the football team, and needs a place that he can work out. For me, I just need a small bedroom with a small 3 piece bathroom attached. I would like a nice kitchen with a table where we can sit and have our meals together. A family room with games and a tv would be good. We really need a space to be able to spend some time together and be able to just sit and talk if we need to.

Your Sims must be uploaded to the gallery and should include the following hashtag #BNSPH3

@BuildnShare "The rules All entries must be original work. Avoid using "styled looks" or pre-created Sims from Sims 4. Any competitor who submits another creator's work will be disqualified and banned from any future Build-n-Share challenge."

How does one create a sim from scratch. I was under the impression that the process always started with a pre-made Sim that could then be modified / personalized.
