What is definition of recriminations?

Recriminations are accusations or complaints made in response to accusations. They are often made in a situation where two or more parties are blaming each other for a particular issue or problem. Recriminations are a way of retaliating against someone who has accused or criticized you, by pointing out their own faults and shortcomings. The aim of recriminations is often to deflect blame and shift responsibility onto someone else. However, they can also be a way of initiating a constructive conversation to resolve a conflict, if both parties can acknowledge their own faults and work towards a solution together.
