Answer by Allen
It can be in the father’s genes which can cause the kid to naturally have a tendency to experiment with these drugs. It’s not a fact that they will experiment with these things just more likely!

The child may be more susceptible to addiction themselves. A psychological effect of dealing with an addict father can also be just as damaging. He needs a drug addiction rehab treatment for the good of his family. Hope these provide some more information:
