If he actually broke down let it play out. Elaborate more if you want a useful answer.

Grab a beer with the man!

Buy him a copy of The Rantional Male #1 and No More Mr. Nice Guy.

EDIT: Watch out not to demonize your mom/his wife in conversation. Make him understand that she does so, because he let her have the freedom to do so. And that it is within his power to change that for the better.

Just flex your machiavellian muscles and offer him some generic wisdom like "everything will be okay".

You're only going to be wasting your time at best (alienate yourself at worst) if you attempt to guide him to TRP.

Deal with it. Become self reliant.

Point out how he lets people walk all over him and how you’ve read a book or two on it and it’s helped you. However, you can really only lead by example, if you haven’t demonstrated that you won’t be walked on yourself it will fall on deaf ears. There’s not much you can really do otherwise. Example > principle

Next him.

Get a new Dad.
