How do I keep family ties with relatives who strongly oppose my faith?

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters. I reverted to Islam a bit over a year now, Alhamdulillah, but I'm really finding it tough to handle relationships with my family. Some context about my family: I grew up culturally Christian, but my parents weren't really practicing. After my grandmother passed, my father went down a path of strong anger towards God, making some very harsh statements. He spent years looking into different faiths with the goal of proving them wrong, but his 'research' wasn't honest and he believes many false things about Islam and our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Growing up, even talking about faith became a big problem at home. My father has always had a harsh temper, especially towards me and my siblings, and he would often wrongly blame and disrespect my mother. To be honest, just hearing his voice puts me on edge. I've tried over the years to see some good in him, but his behavior is often selfish and controlling, and he struggles to admit when he's wrong. I had thought about cutting ties with him even before I was Muslim, but now I worry about the religious weight of that decision. My mother, while not as aggressively against religion, has always gone along with his views to keep the peace, even when it wasn't right, which has been hard for me to accept. When I first took my shahada, I was in my last year of school and didn't plan to tell my family until I could support myself, fearing I'd be forced to leave. I stayed at home for my first year of university to save money, which I now regret. My mother found out I was practicing and pressured me to tell my father, which led to the reaction I feared. He confronted me very aggressively, made me get rid of my prayer rug, modest clothes, and a copy of the Quran, which still hurts to remember. For a long time, he would pick arguments with me at home, convinced I was still practicing in secret. Over time, his anger faded, but only because he thinks I've stopped. Now, any small problem at home gives him a reason to bring up my being Muslim and blame my mother for it. I'm finishing my first year now and planning to move out for my second year as an independent student, but I'm worried about the long-term effects. I don't feel the need to try and change his views-we've never had a real relationship, and I believe his presence is more harmful than good. My big worry is that if I leave, he'll take his anger out even more on my mother and siblings. I know his behavior isn't my fault, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm responsible for all the tension in our house since I embraced Islam. This doesn't make me doubt my deen, Alhamdulillah, but it has been really hard on my mental health and peace. Staying here and hiding my faith feels like a trap of dependency and loneliness, but I'm scared that leaving might mean losing contact with the rest of my family because of him. Jazakum Allahu khayran for listening. May Allah ease all of our affairs and guide us to what is best.
