Shannon, you need to talk to a lawyer before you presume that you won't be getting more financial help. He may be responsible for paying your rent and bills.
I want what's best for your family, but I can't help but think he is taking advantage of your thoughts of dependency on his salary. My mom and dad stayed together because my mom didn't think she could afford to leave him, and it greatly effected all of us in the long run. It was a horrible way to grow up.
If you truly have decided you don't want to be living together, then you have to find out what your options are before assuming this is all going to fall on you. Don't let him intimidate you into relying on him while he gets to do anything he wants because he thinks he has you trapped.
I really want you to work things out if that is possible, but please just find out what your options are while you are going through this time. I can't imagine the stress and awkwardness in your home right now. I lived through this my whole childhood and it's horrible.
It might help you to email Barbara S....she recently went through this and may be able to offer you some advice she has learned.
Big hugs to you, my friend. You deserve more respect...and not to be taken advantage of...please.
