build on sand long enough,
build with sand long enough,
a weight of sand strong enough,
becomes rock, becomes stone.
i walked on uncertain sand long enough,
built a bridge of sandstone and sand long enough
trudged out into heaving oceans far enough,
bridge was rock, became stone.
tread troubled waters for just long enough,
gasping for air under pressure for just long enough,
sand settled to the bottom for just long enough
becomes rock, becomes stone.
small jagged edges i sand long enough
polish my rough edges to be here enough
i was sand on sand, now i’m relaxed enough
to become comforting rock, cool stone.

Inspired by episode 513 - “Your Time Is Gonna Come”

Comments: Kitty has gone nuclear. She’s been the emotional, compassionate rock of the Forman family and for Eric’s friends, but now she’s going through (peri)menopause, her father died, and her mother is continuing to be her emotionally distant and abusive self. At some point, despite Kitty’s great strength, she had to break under all this stress and pressure from within and without.
That’s why I believe her alcoholism began in season 5. She’s genetically predisposed to it because her father is (was) an alcoholic. In season 6, that storyline was supposed to end. It did for an episode or two. But the T7S writers thought alcoholic!Kitty (or alcoholic mothers, by the abundance of them on the show) were funny. So they kept writing her as that for “the laughs”. Punchline over character.
