Work fatigue and parenting

I'm really sorry if this doesn't belong here. Just wanted to vent…I worked hard to get a PhD and have a comfortable job. I'm almost 6 years in and I feel so fatigued at the end of every day. I have a two year old son who is my whole world. Recently, I have really grown to resent work because I feel like it is robbing me of time with my son – both from normal working hours and from feeling fatigued at the end of the day to the point where it's hard to engage with my son. I am terrified that one day I will wake up and my son will be grown and I'll be left wondering why I gave my time away to a company that will be just fine with or without me. That's all…thanks for listening.
