Melissa Gorga of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has been stuck in the middle of the Gorga/Giudice battle for years but wishes her husband had a better family. Melissa is often seen as the peacemaker even though it is clear Teresa Giudice does not like or respect her. Now, the mother of three is opening up about how hard it is to be a Gorga.
