Why did Joan Vassos quit 'The Golden Bachelor'?

Joan Vassos decided to leave 'The Golden Bachelor' due to a family emergency. At that point in time, Joan left the popular dating show because her daughter who had just delivered a baby nearly 15 days ago needed her. 

 “I got a text this morning, and I think I need to go home and be a mom right now. So as much as I don’t want to leave and I don’t want to leave our journey I got to be a parent," Joan told Gerry. 

Later on, down the lane, Joan disclosed that her daughter was struggling with postpartum depression. However, Joan wanted to return to the show, but things didn't work out and it led to the end of her romance with Gerry.
