I find Sundays so hard- lone parent work full time in very demanding job

Sunday is 8 hours plus of non stop chores, prep for the week. Everywhere ( parks, woods, shops, etc ) is filled with families /
Couples enjoying each others company.

I push on and crack on, try not to look and ignore the crippling loneliness. Try to look away and count blessings. I cry every sunday at least once. I am desperately lonely. There is zero capacity to see anyone with the list of relentless chores.

I know i should be grateful for what i have. Does anyone have any tips for the crippling loneliness?

How old is your child?

Cooking, cleaning, lunch preps, ironing, dinner preps, food shop. I work long hours and long commute. When i get home I parent until bed time then go to bed. Theres no time in the evening to more than cook dinner, clean kitchen and parent. I often work at night too.

I think this is just how it is it is just very depressing

What chores do you have to do that can’t be spread through the week? I try to do a fair chunk of them on Friday night when I’m in a better mood generally. Also I always make sure I have a nice dinner and pudding and ot glass of wine to look forward to on a Sunday night or something good to watch etc but basically something nice to look forward to.
