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. 

Ps. Clare uses two names so you might hear me refer to her as Beth. Same person, just a different name.

*Trigger warning* This episode does discuss some issues that may be triggering to other individuals, including the mention of domestic abuse.

If you are affected by anything discussed in this podcast you can get help in many different places.

Don't be scared to go to your GP, you wouldn't think twice if you had a broken leg.
