Bingo.
You are his meal ticket and have been for the past 15 years. He found you when you were young and easy pickings, and has scripted a role for you as his enabler, his maid and his cashcow. Now that things are looking like they might change, he is going to fight like there's no tomorrow. Expect flowers, cards, gifts, pitiful "i can't live without you"'s, and if he turns ugly, threats, demands, crazymaking, blame shifting, trying to ruin your reputation, etc etc.
I don't want to frighten you, but it's SO common when the parasite starts to feel a change in their victim.
However, the way I see it, he's screwed himself over by not working, racking up various charges against him, and mistreating you for all these years.
You're starting to realize that in your situation, you have a good measure of power to change things. Take that power and act.
