you want to interpret it ... I don't think that using that can be considered an abuse as it is really difficult for anyone to say that word 'Sorry' without a proper reason or meaning it.

Saying sorry won't fix anything ... but at least even if the person was not sincere, go ahead and enjoy what you consider victory by making him/her say so ...

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Gautama Buddha)
