I've worked in such situations and it's difficult to deal with the boss/team/peer pressure to overwork. I recommend considering telling your boss that you have some personal obligations on the weekends so you're not able to work during that time, and use that time to look for a new job/recharge. If your boss asks for clarification or even degrades you publicly for this, I don't recommend sharing any additional information. You can say it's personal/family related and you prefer not to talk about it.

Your work situation might be different than I'm imagining and it's difficult to set boundaries, so take my advice with a grain of salt! Good luck, this is a very mentally draining situation, be sure to take care of yourself as best you can.
