It's been a couple of days since The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe pleaded guilty to multiple charges of fraud, and Teresa's ultimate concern is how this is going to take a toll on her children.

"I am heartbroken that this is affecting my family," she said in a statement. "Especially my four young daughters, who mean more to me than anything in the world."

But just as Teresa put on a brave face prior to court last month, it's her oldest daughter Gia who is also taking the high road, as well as valuing those who are in her family's corner during this difficult time.

"Everyone goes through one bump in the road," she wrote on her Twitter. "But while going through that bump in the road you realize the people who support you the most."

One of those supporters came from Dina Manzo, who replied to Gia's tweet "love you pretty girl xoxo".

The Giudices face court once more on July 8, when they will be formally sentenced. Various news outlets have reported that Joe could face anywhere from 37 to 46 months in jail, while Teresa could see 21 to 27 months. Gia, meanwhile, is putting on a brave face. As her her Twitter bio states, "Your [sic] never given anything in life you can't handle."
