IS IT MY FAULT?
A Child's Perspective on Divorce
By Karla Lee
When families separate, children often carry questions too big for their little hearts to understand.
Is It My Fault? is a touching collection of four short stories that gently explores the emotions many children experience when their parents separate. Through relatable characters and real-life situations, children are helped to understand that the changes happening around them are not their fault and that they are deeply loved by both parents.
Each story addresses common feelings children may experience, including:
• Confusion and uncertainty about why Mum and Dad no longer live together
• Feelings of sadness, loss, and loneliness
• Worrying that they somehow caused the separation
• Learning how to express their feelings and ask questions
• Finding hope, reassurance, and security during difficult times
Written from a child's perspective and inspired by real experiences, this beautifully illustrated book provides comfort, understanding, and practical conversation starters for families navigating separation and divorce.
The four short stories are designed to be read individually or together, making them ideal for bedtime reading, counselling sessions, classrooms, support groups, and family discussions.
Created by Karla Lee, founder of Voice 4 Kids, this book is part of a mission to give children a voice during family separation and to help parents better understand the emotional impact divorce can have on young hearts.
Is It My Fault? reminds every child of one important truth:
Mum and Dad's separation is not your fault. You are loved, you are important, and you deserve to be heard.
A valuable resource for parents, grandparents, teachers, counsellors, churches, family support workers, and anyone supporting children through family change.

Please Don’t Go! by Karla Lee is a powerful and heartfelt testimony that demonstrates how a child of divorce can go on to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.
In this deeply personal book, Karla shares the struggles she faced after her parents’ divorce. She recounts the pain and confusion she felt when first told about the breakup, and how her world of security and comfort shattered in an instant. Losing her mother’s daily presence as a little girl was more devastating than she could comprehend at the time, and her father’s absence only deepened her feelings of rejection.
These emotions left Karla grappling with isolation and loneliness, which shaped her childhood and led her to seek love and attention in unhealthy ways. Rebellion became her way of coping, and she found herself in an emotionally and verbally abusive relationship, perpetuating the cycle of rejection she had come to expect.
Despite the heartache, Karla’s story is one of redemption and hope. Through perseverance and self-discovery, she eventually found unconditional love that brought her peace and clarity. Today, Karla understands her purpose and uses her experiences to inspire others, showing that even in the face of immense pain, healing and fulfillment are possible.
