After the heartwarming reunion within Teresa Giudice's household in the premiere episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" season 7, one of the other housewives will have her own problem on the home front in episode 2.
In a sneak peek at the episode, titled "A Very Hairy Christmas," Melissa Gorga's husband and Teresa's brother Joe was seen complaining about living like a single parent around their kids because of his wife's constant absences.
Joe continuously complains that Melissa is always out of the house, even during special occasions such as New Year's Eve. Will Melissa's time with friends affect her relationship with her husband and kids?
Melissa admitted in a blog post that she and her family had a tough time while Teresa was staying behind bars.
"While Teresa was away, everyone was worried for her and wanted to make sure that she was doing OK, but our main concern was her daughters," the reality show star wrote. "It was a time for everyone to open their eyes and see that life can change at any minute and it really put things into perspective."
However, she did not mention anything about her own family problems in the post. She only admitted that her husband was not exactly thrilled with the idea that she will open up a new clothing store.
"He felt that retail was down and that it would be too time consuming," Melissa stated.
Meanwhile, the second season of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" season 7 will feature the holiday dinner that Melissa will host for Christmas.
According to the synopsis for the upcoming episode, "Christmas in the Garden State finds Melissa hosting a holiday dinner, where she reunites with Teresa. Then, Teresa offers a surprise call to Jacqueline as Dolores plays mediator, and a decision to spend New Year's Eve away from family creates tension."
"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" season 7 episode 2 airs on Bravo on Sunday, July 17.
