Low Contact while living at home?

Name changed for privacy reasons

So to keep it short: In my early 20s, working full time, saving to move out. Unfortunately won’t be able to move out for at least another year or two. Can’t even afford to rent.

I’m still living at home, which is growing increasingly unbearable. Both parents have extensive history of poor mental health management and I’ve always been the scapegoat. I refuse to engage which makes their anger worse somehow.

I plan on going low contact as soon as I move out, and hope to move at least 40-60 mins away.

In the meantime though, how do I go low contact while still living with them? I pay my own bills, buy my own food, do my own washing/cleaning. However they’re still coming after me no matter how much I try to distance myself. I basically live as their disliked roommate.

Any tips on how to make things easier for myself?
