For someone to admit to you that they hurt you or that they have handled in a way that brought more harm than good, means they need to go through a phase of self reflection which could (but doesn't have to) lead to personal growth for that individual.....
But the thing is, that this is completely out of your hands. And could happen within 5 minutes of the situation but it could also happen in years, or even worse... NEVER!
And once you realise this, why would you wait for an apology, changed behavior or certain acknowledgement from someone else in order to start YOUR OWN healing process that is solely in your hands! That healing process is already a heavy one, why would you add expectations for others as a necessity to heal, when they have already disappointed you once (or multiple times). If it happens, let it be a bonus. But don't make it unnecessarily mandatory... Because you are only withholding yourself from rising above it.
Love,
