oh hello, interesting question....well it started when i was 9 so i wasn't completely aware of the dangers, my island wasn't ( well not exactly ) on the front line so we were fairly safe, somewhere along the line we had air raids because they were bombing the bridge that connects our island with dalmatia ( it was the only way to get from north croatia to the south, split, dubrovnik, the serbs occupied all the other roads ), i actually thought it was fun going to a shelter...what the fuck did i know...also, the first couple of years we were without electricity, the serbs occupied the biggest powerstations in the south,that was a bitch, no tv, no hot water... before the war my family owned 2 restorants and a night club, ( along with the apartment renting ) that was our main income, tourism, so when the shit hit the fan and the tourists stopped coming, we were in a bit of a perdicament and my father had to do all sorts of shit to earn money ( that was the poorest we ever got and i wont even mention all the things we did to get food ).....and the most importaint thing, which i wasn't completely aware of at the time, my brother got drafted and went on the front line, he spent a couple of years there and only recently i started to realize in how much danger he was and what he actually went through ( he told me that at a certain point he was assigned to dispose of dead bodies , and at the end of the war, he was a part of the liberation action and some of his comrades got killed a few feet from him )..other that that i was fairly traumatised by what i saw on the tv ( dead masacrated bodies at that age? not nice...)...but i also realise that we were spaired of the real hardships ( someone being killed, home being occupied, being bombed like many cities were....)

thanks for asking....
