This is the second part of Clare's interview where she chats to Katie about the affect that domestic abuse has had on her and her children, and how she has managed to cope with it day to day. 

The police recorded 599,549 domestic abuse-related crimes in the year ending March 2018. This was an increase of 23% from the previous year.
