In the simplest terms, a person uses drugs to feel different (and better) and abuses them because each time they need to experience that feeling with greater intensity. Of course, the deepest reasons why a person tries legal or illegal drugs and becomes addicted to them are as individual as each user.

"The son of an alcoholic - Emilia Faur illustrates - was probably very persecuted because he did not do his homework or did not perform appropriately in school. It is a way of diverting the focus of the problem, since the problem is not there." MISCONDUCT PARENTS In some cases, these parents are emotionally inadequate and use their children to take on roles that would truly correspond to them. "Parents of misconduct," Faur says. "What cases? Mothers of adolescent daughters who, instead of accompanying the girls' growth, compete with them; parents who dress and act like boys and put themselves on an equal footing with their own children ... They are those parents who pride themselves on saying that their children are their friends, when in truth the father cannot be a friend, because the father is the law.
