Ever since my father got into a relationship with my mother, about 26 years ago, she has been pressuring him to stop whatever he was doing for himself, and rather focusing on her instead. She stopped him from playing D&D with his friends, from playing in the local football group, from everything social. Since they got married, everything has continued in this fashion. Starting about 5 years ago, I noticed the constant pressure on my father to do whatever my mother, or now my sisters, wanted from him, no questions asked. He has become extremely passive, and has developed an addiction to technology, mainly social media. He has tried to live vicariously through myself, pushing me to do some of the things that he has always wanted to do, such as, but not limited to: Forcing me out of the Boy Scouts troop that I loved, and onto the football team that he was now coach of (he had no prior coaching experience), making me play golf, etc. Lately, he has become extremely passive aggressive towards everyone in the family, and I am starting to sense that he will burst. Maybe not now, but sometime in the future. Is there any way that I can show him that it is okay to try and take control of his own life? How he does not have to submit to my mother and sisters? Any help would be welcome. Thanks for your time.

P.S. He has started, recently, to encourage me not to get married, get a dog instead, wanting me to get more friends that won't bail out for girls, etc.
