Please be careful with the feelings of entitlement. They will give you the justification to do just about anything. It is also a big component of those in crisis.
When they are in crisis, it is a bad idea to expect them to stick with any sort of plan for too long. Because they can change their minds at any moment in time.
We say protect yourself first over here. While filing anything may not go along with the idea of saving your M, it is sometimes important, to save yourself from total financial ruin. And only you can make that decision. If you can do it differently, then that may be the best option.
Anything you can do to make your own situation better, do. If that means getting a job, then do it. Become as self sufficient as you can. Do NOT rely on him for anything right now.
It sounds like your depression is pretty bad. Please don't be afraid to go to the doctor, to get something to help temporarily with that. The clearer your head, the more you can focus, the better off you will be.
Keep posting and others will be around.
