I see the two having Yang, and then they either have a fight or drift apart over moral ideals, and Raven leaves for a different lifestyle outside the kingdom and under the grimm mask.

With Raven gone, Summer kicks in either as the close friend who develops feelings after supporting Taiyang through the heartache of Raven leaving, or simply as a new love. They have Ruby, and the rest is history. Taiyang may not mention Raven since he doesn't want his daughters following her footsteps outside the safety of the kingdoms, or possibly following in a similar non-individualistic lifestyle. If Summer was close with Raven, she may have been killed following after her on a 'mission' (much like Yang is today) by grimm/the outsiders, or possibly even a jealous Raven like you mentioned. Again, the vagueness of this could be supported if Taiyang is trying to keep the facts about Raven away from his daughters. I imagine that this is the case for Raven and Taiyang. Maybe the idea of settling down and having a family scared Raven off. I've seen the idea floating around on how like Yang, Raven is a thrill seeker who only lives for adventure. The only reason she's back could be because during her 'travels' she discovered something bad is going happen and makes her grow up and do something about it instead of running off for selfish reasons. I honestly don't want Raven to have the dissappeared on a mission problem like Summer because it's too much of a coicidence. If the "Summer is the Queen" theory is true then perhaps Raven is trying to stop her.

As for Taiyang, I see him having abandonment issues. He probably didn't tell Yang because he wanted to protect her from getting hurt. What would happen if Yang found her mother? Would Yang just up and leave everything behind and never be heard again beacause she wanted to go on an adventure with a woman who is a stranger? Or would Raven hurt her by leaving her again? Either way I see Yang getting hurt because of her mother and Taiyang doesn't want her to go through the same pain he went through. But as a parent he has let Yang and Ruby go and make their own decisions.
