It's gotta be a good opportunity that's better than other opportunities though.

My brother had the option of living at home for as long as he wanted (like I did) but he had a very contentious relationship with my dad b/c he didn't go to university and university was the MOST important thing to my dad (for a long time he would only speak to relatives about me b/c I got a degree, my brother basically didn't exist) so he left at the first opportunity. Were it not for my degree giving me a buffer I would have left just like he did.

Just because you can stay doesn't mean you should - sometimes there are better options out there and sometimes it's not healthy/safe to stay.
