Should I be held accountable or forsake my home if I am unable to adhere to the Sunnah of the Messenger, memorize the Qur'an, and lower my gaze, while missing the Fajr prayer, due to the prevalence of my family's foreign-like customs and their wasting of time on music and movies?

A Muslim is advised to stay away from forbidden things, continue on the path of guidance by memorizing the Quran, gaining deep understanding of the religion, associating with righteous people, preserving prayer in the mosque, and attending scholarly gatherings. He should also strive diligently and without despair to guide his family, seek help from those experienced in da'wah (Islamic propagation), provide impactful materials such as books and audio recordings, frequently supplicate for them in their absence, and not abandon them entirely, while not participating in their wrongdoings.
