Even if we excused Raven's fear of Salem dictating her decisions, there are 3 things one can't forget:

1) It was Raven who made the plan to guide Qrow and co. into a trap to kill him. A plan that, mind you, no one in Team CAME had thought up beforehand, and surprised them all.

2) She made no attempts to warn Qrow nor Yang about what was going to happen, even though either of them could've died (at least if we ignore Main Protagonist Privilegies).

3) She told Qrow, to his face, that she never saw him as family. Whether she meant it or not, it was needless, it was unnecesary, it did not help her in the slightest, it's only purpose was to be cruel for no reason other than just because.

And, of course, her own fear of Salem and her not-really-explained-well hate for Ozpin does not excuse her completely abandoning Yang after she was born and not even giving her a small sign that she even existed. Yang instead found out entirely by chance.

Even if she didn't want to keep her with her, the fact that she literally can teleport in a second from her tribe to Tai and back with her portals means that she literally could've visited her once in a while at no cost.
