I'd avoid them like the plague, since that's pretty much the effect they have on your life.
While you will probably never change your dad's mind/ways (after all, he's had to listen to her/them all this time as well) you might try to make a pact with him... see him on Your terms, away from them if you can. If you still want to see him, but can't see him away from them, just ignore them... make like there are gnats in the room... irritating, but hardly life altering, and let it go. (the benefit of this is... it'll might just drive them crazy ;p)
In the end, it is up to you to decide what you are willing to put up with, what you will allow yourself to be subjected to... don't risk your mental health by dealing with toxic folks and try not to become one either!
