As Spirited said, there's a very good chance Tai knows why Raven left, and he might suspect where she's gone but couldn't follow her due to familial obligations. And I'd say he suspects there's a chance Yang may run into the bandits once she goes to Anima in search of Ruby, so he'll undoubtedly seek to arm her with the truth before she departs.

And I also think Raven cares more than she lets on, but not enough to be an active part of Yang's life. I'd say she doesn't want Yang in the tribe, hence why she left her with Tai because she felt she'd have a better life in Vale. In a sense, Raven sacrificed her own happiness for her daughter's sake. Though I know we won't know for sure until mother and daughter meet again, most likely in the next two volumes or so.
