You might get an apology from some toxic person, but believe me, it won't be sincere. Such people will only apologize if they try to manipulate you into giving them exactly what they want and make you believe that they truly deserve your forgiveness.
Otherwise, never they will not admit that they are doing anything wrong. They will never just say "I'm sorry." and the rest at that. They will always follow up with other sentences, with excuses about how we can't blame them for this, because it's actually their ex-partners', their parents', maybe even yours.
They will always try put the blame on someone else because they are not mature enough to accept responsibility for their actions. They think they are always right. They feel that they have been forced to destroy it all because of their past or current circumstances, even though they are entirely responsible for it. They can choose the path to walk, and if they make the wrong choice, they should own up to it.
They will always try to shift the blame to someone else.Of course you do they will never give the apology you deserve. If they're apologizing for cheating on you, for example, they'll describe in detail how it wouldn't have happened if the other person hadn't literally thrown themselves at them, if you hadn't recently given up on your sexuality, if they hadn't ordered that extra beer at the bar...
And if you have the courage to face them, to let them know that they won't pull your nose, will turn the situation upside down. They will list all the nice things they have ever done for you and you marked as ungrateful. They will mention to you that you are not perfect either and that you have never been blamed for it. They will try to confuse you, to make you feel guilty, even though they are the ones who cooked it all up.
They will label you as ungrateful.Toxic people they will not admit they are wrong. They will never reflect on their choices and realize that they need to change. It doesn't matter what you want to do about it, it doesn't matter how much you love them...you will never win with them. They will do their best to prove to you that they are "innocent". They will make up some lies, they will spread rumors, they will adjust the truth to fit their narrative…
You can yell at them, you can curse at them, you can calmly present the facts to them - but you do it won't change anything. They have a talent for transforming reality. They create their own truth and try to force as many people as possible to believe that truth. In the end, you will be the one who is "crazy", you will be the one who does things wrong.
No matter how hard you try, nothing will change.When dealing with a toxic person, it's best to yes we simply walk away, because we will never reach them alive. We will never get them to see the situation from our point of view. We will never make them admit that they have gone too far.
Toxic people don't think logically. They only think about themselves.
Step away!
