I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'share?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'like mother's' is the wordplay.
'HERS' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hers that I've seen before include "Belonging to the female" , "The woman's" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
