Very good progress ^ !
I don't think that your therapist will think that you are a freak. You developed the same issues that just about everyone else would have developed if they would have been in your situation.
If you treat any child like you were treated they would grow up not expressing themselves or asking for what they needed. We are molded as children and you were molded in response to your mother. It doesn't make you a freak at all. It makes you a normal person who responded normally to very bad/abusive parenting.
I had to fix the same things as an adult. I had to learn to express myself, understand my feelings and ask for what I needed.
