Joe Giudice shares somber post of his father’s grave and addresses past mistakes

He’s creating a new life in Italy after being held in ICE custody in the United States following his release from prison after serving a 41-month sentence for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud.

And Joe Giudice shared a somber post reflecting on the past with a picture taken by his daughter Milania of his father Francesco’s grave site.

The 47-year-old reality star admitted he was consumed with a ‘terrible feeling’ for indiscretions which caused him to be far away from his family. 

‘My mistake has caused me literally not to touch my daughters everyday and you again,’ he wrote. ‘This terrible feeling continues as tears stream down my face knowing I can’t see you. 

‘My promise to you dad and my girls I will never make the same mistake again. I must accept my flaws and forgive myself to go forward.’

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star tagged his daughter and estranged wife in the post. 

He also added: ‘#dad #missyou #mistakesarelessons #feelings #forgiveness #angel thank you buddy for visiting Nonno. I look up to you daughters more and more each day.❤️❤️❤️❤️ #truth #screwup.’

Milania also shared a throwback photo of the family with Teresa’s parents as she mourned the three year anniversary of her grandmother’s death. 

Joe shares four daughters  — Gia, 19; Gabriella, 16; Milania, 15; Audriana, 11 — with his estranged wife.

The couple were married in October 1999 but ‘have been separated’ since December when People reported that neither was interested in a long distance relationship once he moved back to Italy.

‘They discussed their future when Teresa and the girls went to Italy in early November and they agreed that each had to move on. They are doing so amicably and very slowly,’ the source said. ‘Joe has been out on a few dates, Teresa has not. She has been too busy with the girls, with work obligations and taking care of her father. 

‘She is happy for Joe. They have been very friendly with one another and are very supportive of each other’s happiness. They still love one another, but as Teresa told Andy Cohen on the WWHL special, they are separated by the Atlantic Ocean. Neither is interested in a long distance relationship.’

Despite moving to the U.S. as a child, Joe’s green card was revoked and he was placed in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention following his release from prison in March. 

After spending six months in the detention center, Joe requested to be sent back to Italy as he awaited the final decision in his case. 

Teresa also served time for mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud, although the couple were allowed to serve their sentences in succession so the children would have a parent at home.
