The vast majority of the time you cannot make someone admit they're wrong. To a lot of people, "winning" an argument is as much a matter of will as it is of actually being right. A lot of @ssholes want to be right all the time, so they're right because they're "cool" and "stubborn."
My basic advice to people is to pick and choose who you spend a good deal of your time talking to. I know plenty of even good people who can't admit they're wrong, the solution is to not argue with them. That doesn't make you wrong, it just saves you a lot of time and aggravation.
A person who never admits they're wrong and is abusive is a person who should be avoided at all costs; cause if you don't, (s)he will make you into a peach, undermine your self-esteem and cause you a lot of grief.
