Since it seems a foregone conclusion that you're going to leave him the best thing you can do is start planning. Open a bank account he doesn't know about and start socking away a little money here and there if you can. Just taking a step like that can make all the other steps go easier.
You've waited this long, so you might as well get everything in order before you officially leave. It is possible to get financial support from him, but who knows how long that will take and if he's uncooperative it will be even worse. So try to have some cushion and possibly a friend lined up to stay with temporarily. Definitely get a job first, that will be a must.
Good luck, and I'm sorry and happy for you at the same time! Focus on the excitement of having your own life for once!!
