Teresa Giudice is obviously missing Joe Giudice as he serves out his 41-month prison sentence, but the Real Housewives of New Jersey star is holding it together for the whole family's sake.

At the Real Housewives of New York City premiere Wednesday night, the Giudice family's attorney James J. Leonard told E! News Teresa is "a rock for [Joe], as he was a rock for her."

"They're a very strong family and they're holding together the best they can," he added.

Joe and Teresa, who was released from her 14-month sentence in December, are "a very unique pair," said the family's lawyer. "Because she's gone through that experience, she's able to help him anticipate what he's going to go through."

Teresa is "really getting back into being a mother and getting back to life," he noted. "She's doing great."

And how do Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana feel about having their mom back home? Watch the video above to find out.

The Real Housewives of New York City airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
