Well you have took the first major step in accepting that he is no good for you. So good on you for that alone. I guess love can make the best of us weak. But don't look back in regret just put it down to experience and learn from it. He is the one that used you and unfortunately you are the one left to pick up all the pieces of your life now. Start by realising that you have had a lucky escape and as for the money he owes you, maybe ask for him to pay you back because at the end of the day it is your money and you deserve to have it back.
The best thing for you to do now is to go out with friends and enjoy your life. Show him how happy you are without him. It is hard when you still have to work for him but give yourself some time and things will get easier.
