Sometimes children with learning disabilities also struggle with relationships. LD doesn't just affect school work but also impacts how a child socializes. That makes it so tough on parents. Please don't feel that it is your fault that your relationship with your son is tough - he is probably doing the best he can and you are doing the best you can.

My son was identified as LD with behavior issues - it was very tough to parent him. One resource that was really helpful was Ross Greene's The Explosive Child. I found that book to be very helpful in that the author pointed out that LD kids also struggle socially. I learned how to parent him differently which helped a lot. I also had lots of help from a child pychologist who worked with my son on his behavior issues and worked with us to parent him differently.

Don't give up !! Keep trying. It is a good plan to walk away when you have had it - I did that lots of times. Better to walk away than yell something awful or worse. Take care of yourself and then come back to him and keep working with him.

Good Luck to you - parenting is a journey.
