Teresa Giudice's nuclear level fall out with sister-in-law Melissa Gorga has sparked a full on feud, and in an upcoming episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey she seeks professional help to put their problems behind her.
RadarOnline.com has a sneak peak of her emotional upheaval to her therapist about her crumbling relationship with brother, Joe Gorga, who sits anxiously in the corridor waiting to tell his side of the story.
"I really don't know why he can't get past what is bothering him," says a distraught Teresa. "You're gonna have to speak to him about that. For me, I've never done anything that I think hurt him tremendously.
"There's just something that he can't get past, maybe you can help him?" she asks hopefully.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the fourth season of RHONJ got off to an explosive start with Teresa calling Melissa a "gold digger," and in return Joe accused her of trying to break down his marriage.
However, the hot-tempered Housewife is adamant that she is always the one to go the extra mile to keep her family together.
"I always call my brother, since he got married – he never calls me back!" she tells her therapist. "I was tremendously close with my brother, we were best friends. We would have every Sunday dinner together."
Teresa goes on to reveal, "When he started dating Melissa, she was ignoring my phone calls. My brother even admits that, she was the one who pulled away from me."
Despite having high-profile rifts with numerous cast members, including a recent cat fight with Jacqueline Laurita that may have destroyed their friendship for good, Teresa claims she is quick to forgive her adversaries.
"I'm not a grudge holder," she claims.
See how the drama unfolds when the new episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Bravo on July 1 at 10/9c.
