More specifically a weak rotator cuff. My shoulders never grew together properly. Even saw a specialist when I was about 16 about it. Pretty much told me it would either fix itself by the time I turned 21 or it wouldn't. Its not as bad as it used to be, but its still not great. What excercises would help me out do you think. Shoulders are pretty weak on any excercise where I have to lift them vertically from a standing position. Would appreciate the advice.

: it wont get stronger if you dont work it :
start light and slowly increase weight so your rehabbing + developing the cuff
if its very bad pain to begin with, get therabands ( i have like a dozen different colors/resistence levels from when I did therapy)

and for your shoulders not growing together, that is not an issue. my shoulders dont align. you can feel a huge differnce in them at the front of my collar. my left shoulder looks like this -- and my right shoulder more like this \
years and years of pitching does that.. they told me its normal and somewhat beneficial for the throwing motion, lol.

Yeah I never tried goin for broke on max presses when my shoulders sucked. Fish and flax oil before the gym seemed to really help lubricate things. Just kept the rep range between 8-12 like pu suggested and things got better over time. Military presses and bench shouldn't be much of a problem once you get your shoulders pumped.
Good luck, man. Lots of good advice given so I think this should keep you busy
