Why can't I have a close relationship with my Grandparents who are my adoptive parents?
It is mainly my Nonny(grandmother). I love her to death and I know she loves me, but I don't feel like I can talk to her. My Grandparents became my legal guardians when I was 9, and I am now a teenager.
All my friends have such great relationships with their parents and sometimes I feel I can talk to anyone but my Nonny.
I think she believes we have a great relationship cause she is always talking to me, but usually it is just her ranting about her day. I feel more like a therapist than her granddaughter.
Is it just a teen thing or an adoptive thing or both.

I think your Nonny may be feeling kind of scared. Raising teenagers is not an easy task, especially for an older person who may feel "out of the loop". When she raised her own children she may have had some tough times, but she was younger then, and times were different. Maybe you could start trying to talk with her about small things at first, and let her know how much you want to be close to her.
