This is a moral question which really comes down to whether or not the person is viewed as having mental capacity. That is, whether or not they are truly in control of their own actions or not. If they are not in control of their own actions (and lack mental capacity) then you should do whatever you think is best for them. If they are in control of their own actions (and so do have mental capacity) then it is immoral to impose your decisions on them.

Whether you choose to act on their demands on you or not is entirely up to you, regardless of whether you consider them cognitively able or not.

Can you leave home at the age of majority despite a mental illness?

If this person can prove they can subsist on their own then there is no reason they can't have their own freedom. Many mentally challenged people live on their own (perhaps some will have someone come in to check on them every so often and this can be done through the State Law or by the family themselves.) If the person is not severely handicapped mentally, then they should be pushed to be as independent as possible. Sometimes people have a habit of babying the mentally challenged and deciding what is best for that person. Take a look around. There are Olympics for the mentally disabled, and many other functions and some even work. If one chooses to take the time to study the mentally challenged they will realize they are a lot more capable of many things than most of us give them credit for. Marcy
