My father is a very rude and obnoxious man at times. He thinks that he knows the truth about everything.
I went to stay with my daughter for a few weeks who lives with her Dad in another state. My ex-husband moved due to job reasons. My dad thinks that I was chasing my ex-husband and that's why I went. Its not true.
He also makes fun of the classes that I take (Microsoft Excel) and blows things out of proportion (I just discussed the commute for my present job and he said that I would not take the job because of it.)
I know that I have to move out of his house soon. What is the best way to deal with such people except for ignoring it?
He keeps harping on my life, career and social life and thinks that he can fix it. I have told him not to, but he keeps saying mean, rude things. He says that I am lost and need direction.
I try to stay away from him...

I am not sure how old you are, but my advise is to just control the conversations you have with him.
He is your dad ... he does care, but has a strange way of showing it.
Listen to what he says, but just do that listen. Make your decisions based on what is best for you.
What he would do or not do might not be the same for you.
We all live our lives the way we need to.

Get your own place, the sooner the better. Do anything, FIND A WAY. Once you and he have some space, you can build up the patience you'll need to deal with him.
Aside from that, you are a grown woman. You don't need to answer to your father. But while living under his roof, blah blah blah. Also, your dad may see the divorce as a bad judgemnt call on your part and he may want to help you avoid other such calls. You can try to tell him it isn't any of his business, but that may not go over well...

Tell him he missed his calling. Instead of attending school as a student when he was a child, he could of been the teacher. Afterall, he knows everything, right?

Like most parents, he doesn't want you to get hurt. Unfortuantely, he's crossed the line. Let him know that you've grown up how and that you'll like to have some personal space.

you now what ? that is very hard to deal with but i would just yes him to death and still do it your own way because he is not going to change his ways , you are not him and cant do things the way he wants and if you stick to what you want to do , maybe he will back off good luck to you

Tell him he does know everything with the exception that he knows nothing about love.
