On top of that, Yang said that Tai shut down after Summer's disappearance/death. A shut down father is pretty... useless, to his young children, and Ruby and Yang no longer had a mother figure around who could pick up the slack. Enter good ol' Uncle Qrow, who could've made regular visits until Tai got back on his feet, to check in on the kids, make sure they got everything they needed, and take a little weight off Tai's shoulders.

This could've easily led to Ruby looking up to Qrow more than Tai. Impressionable young child, just lost her mother, father is shut down with depression, Qrow comes along and takes care of her and her sister. Yang is two years older than Ruby and had a head start on bonding with Tai.
