As well as whatever they've been through, they will carry with them. I read the person who lived above the apartment heard fighting and lound noises at night. He {the one there longer} didn't go to school, so he must not have had interaction with other kids on a regular basis?

I had worried about taking in foster children who had suffered so much because of the fact of their behaviour would not be so easily able to handle. To decipher.

Bittersweet, yes. And, everytime you look at them how can you not help but remember what they sufferered? And, how can you ever mend this? As a parent, you can't stand to know if you child is sad, or hungry, or isn't feeling well.
