When one person blames another person for something bad or unfortunate, and never, or rarely, attempts to own their part and find a solution, a "Blame Game" exists. Blame games are confusing, frustrating, painful, and emotionally exhausting experiences. No one wants to be in one, so why are they so common and seemingly drawn out?

So how can we free ourselves from an existing blame game? How do we prevent one from happening in the first place?
