My parents were foster parents for some time while I was young. I knew that the kids who came into our home were there because their lives had been rough, but I didn't really understand it until one day with an even younger little boy than myself - young enough that he was just barely speaking properly constructed sentences.
I can't even remember what we were doing in our living room that day, but at some point I turned on a lamp that had no shade on it. He suddenly got this look of fear on his face looking at the bulb and said, "Don't burn me!"
That's when I realized how fucked up these kids were. Another girl had been sexually abused, which empathy makes very difficult to help heal in children.
I'm just saying, be prepared to deal with shit. Bet you'd be great at it though.
