I can't speak from first hand experience but reunions are roller coasters as anyone who had been through them can tell you.
No one in this world is perfect. I'm not, your birth mother isn't and I'm sure that your not either. I don't say that trying to be argumentative or confrontational, it is just the way things are. The way we deal with it though is to overlook the imperfections in others that we deal with. If we didn't overlook the things that we don't like in other or in ourselves then we live miserable and lonely lives.
I'd say go talk to a counselor as there are some issues to be addressed, anger with your birth mother being one of them. A pregnant 16 year old girl in the late 60's was a shameful thing. Our society was very different back then. Birth mothers were shunned and told to forget about the baby that they put up for adoption. You can't really judge them until you've walked in their shoes.
It is just my opinion but I you consider your birth mother to be immature and self centered but the feeling I get is that it is because it is not all about you.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, it is just that you are in a spot where a lot of us would like to be and may never experience. Just look at the positives and deal with the negatives. If it takes some counseling to get past some of the issues then great! Enjoy the moment. If you can't get past it then move on with your life.
Only trying to help.
Best wishes.
