How to...

I was wondering, how do you go about enforcing your boundaries with an addict? Once someone has crossed boundaries and gotten away with it, it seems almost impossible to enforce them. For example, AH will hang up on me when he gets mad. Obviously this is inappropriate and at one time we both viewed it as such. But he has done it so many times he thinks it is ok. I no longer call him back when he does it. But other than that, how would I show him that it is unacceptable? this is just one example of unacceptable behavior I no longer wish to tolerate but just don't know how to show him it's not ok. Thanks for any advice. I am really trying to live healthier.
