If you can manage to teach yourself violin, you win in my book.
I have a friend who did that (although, his style would be more classified as "fiddle") basically just by buying books and a little instruction here and there. That, and going down to his local town square and busking.
Also, the fact that your mom might be able to give a helpful hint if need be does help, but its not absolutely necessary. Some of the best players are self-taught.
