Abusers enjoy abusing others because the abuser likes the control they have over the abused. Meaning, when they are hitting a man/woman/child/etc, they feel powerful and controlling, which is what they want. The abusers are usually people who crave control in their life and know they can have it by abusing others who are "weaker", not only physically but mentally. This is especially true when it comes to men abusing women (which is more often); the man wants the control over the woman, so he beats her, some men even get pleasure out of it, some men are just raised to feel that women are no better than dirt and should be treated as such, sometimes its in the culture, etc. It all boils down to how they are raised. If they grew up in an environment that had abuse in it (mental, physical, emotional, etc) they are most likely to grow up and show signs of that. Overall, its all about control with those people.

What is the definition of drug abuse?

Drug abuse the use of any substance strictly to alter the mood, without that substance being prescribed by a doctor. Drug abusers use the drugs to relieve anxiety - whether they call it "relieving pain," "relaxing," "taking a trip," or "feeling good." People who are happy with themselves and satisfied with their lives do not become drug abusers. If you drink alcohol because you like the taste of a drink once in a while, you are not abusing alcohol - if you drink because you want to change your mood, you are abusing it. Drug use becomes drug addiction when the user continues to use the substance even though they know it is harming them.

Do child abusers think it's fun to abuse children?

While some might take pleasure in abusing kids, particularly if they have a sadistic streak, most child abusers don't even think about how fun or entertaining it is. They tend to be self-centered, and they may blow up and take it out on their kids when they don't get their way. For the really twisted people who do sick things to kids, it is mostly a compulsive urge. It isn't so much that they feel pleasure as it is that they feel less pressure inside. Or they are stuck working out their own pain or what was done to them, and they are stuck reenacting it with others, only that they are the abusers this time around. They may view their compulsion like an appetite, and this is how they fill it. So they are mentally or morally sick and lack the ability to control themselves.
