Petunia has PPD by atiaahmed

Summary: After giving birth to Dudley, Petunia suffers from severe Postpartum depression. When a year later she has finally overcome it, she is burdened with Harry.
How does she react to another child to care for?
What are the effects Harry suffers from this treatment?

Suggestions
- During her PPD she kept comparing herself to Lily through the letters they exchanged. She has always felt inferior to her sister and hates it that motherhood seems to be easy for Lily. She also compares Dudley's development to Harry's
- when she hears of her sister's death in that cold way (Dumbledore dumping her nephew at her doorstep and adding nothing more than a letter) she falls back into depression
- she decides that she will put all her energy to caring for her child first and because of her depression she just doesn't have the energy to care for Harry as well
- she reflects the hatred she had for Lily on Harry and wants to keep him inferior to herself and Dudley, to prove that she is better than her sister
