Please help me understand it.
In determining dependency of a parent, the total income and expenses of the family unit of which the parent is a member must be considered. Normally, the member’s contribution to the expenses of the unit must exceed one-half of the unit’s total expenses before any one person in the unit can be considered dependent on him or her. For example, a mother cannot be considered dependent if she is a member of a family unit in which her husband is supporting himself but is not providing sufficiently for the mother’s individual needs.
on that bold “dependant” word, was it saying the mother can’t be considered dependant on her husband or somebody else? Thanks.

The paragraph describes the dependency status of an enlisted man's (or officer's) mother. If the father is supporting himself, but not supporting his wife adequately, the wife is not considered to be a dependent of the enlisted man, so is not eligible for any benefits.
