If you don't want to be with him, then you need to divorce him.

As long as you are married to him, you "technically" are his spouse and potential liability is out there.

Unfortunately, no one can stop his family from talking bad about you or trying to "guilt" you.

It sounds like he has mental problems. Can you can Adult Protective Services and see if you can get him some help. It's winter and it's going to be cold. No one should be homeless in the winter. Of course, being homeless in the winter sort of proves he has mental problems.

Happy Thanksgiving.
