Had a girlfriend who depended on him and just kind of stopped trying. He had his reasons and I can kind of understand them. It left her in a bad position though. If you are without family or friends that can help I would recommend start contacting social services now. Reach out to any support group you can find. Even if you have some family or friends that can help some I would reach out. At the very least if you can get away from depending on his money to live you can start to make decisions that can help you. Feel free to contact me if you would like. I wish I had all the answers for you but I don't but I'm here.
