Might be best to take the fully funded one. Part time PhDs can be very stressful.

Remember a PhD is supposed to be your own work, so it's not unusual for your supervisor to ask you to design your own project. If you are struggling to do this, ask them for more advice, or whether there is someone else you can ask for assistance.

Sorry to hear this. It sounds very difficult. This might be controversial, and I'm sorry if it offends you, but really I would advise you to leave unless he agrees to get help.
