Help your daughter (and tell your mother that I and other DUers support you behaving as a mother SHOULD.)

I'm sorry about her wrath, and do understand something of it; escaped from my husband (separated) to get out of such situation.

VERY sorry about this predicament, queen.

edit: Similar sizes, by any chance? Use card for daughter, whose boots could also be for you.
