Yeah it's important to cut that off, if you can.

I try to reply something like "I'm not seeking to be excused, I'm explaining what happened. That's it." This can be a bit bristly but it clearly defines your role in the conversation, and stops them from putting you in a role they've picked for you. (the penitent subordinate) .

Obviously ymmv as you might not be stable enough in your role
