Similar happened to me OP... I didn't expect or want him to give me money for the sake of it.. (even though like you I would have done that for him), but hoped for support setting up something that would generate a higher income for me.
Instead for many years I worked is bad jobs getting virtually nothing, never had any support from him. You have to remember as well, until you're in their situation you don't know how you would act.. but I feel you, I dealt with a similar situation, and he was a friend of decades.
It didn't massively effect our friendship, but privately I felt resentful.
But... the secret is that once you stop worrying about other people family/friends who have money and could help you, you realise that you have to do it yourself. I realised that I was in the situation I was in, not because my friend wouldn't fund me setting up a business, but because I was settling for shit jobs that paid low wages instead of shifting my focus and being more creative.
Killing off an expectant mindset frees up your thought processes and makes you more determined to open up new ways of making money OP. Once you flip it and decide that even if he offered you money you wouldn't take it, you'll start to succeed a lot more on your own.
Now years later I'm in a situation where if he offered me money I would laugh, but that's only because of taking responsibility for the situation 100% and ignoring what other people have and are doing.
Keep pushing OP, on your own.. you'll do it mate. The alternative is continuing to live with a beggars mentality.. where you always look for ways others can help you. It's a common and destructive mentality you need to absolutely shed at all costs.
