You need to see an attorney ASAP. There may be a way, depending on the laws of your state, to get a maintenance order without filing for divorce. Going to work now may not be a good idea in terms of support and it sounds like your health might justify holding off. Please talk to a lawyer ASAP. My H is a complete narcissist ahole but he pays us a significant amount of support and we live in the nice house while he lives in a shack. Your situation is deplorable.
Oh, and if your neighbor is right, him seeing you stand up for yourself might actually improve the way he views you.
