depending on the conversation context it can mean either, but out of context it would be perceived as " All I have is my parents" meaning that there is no one else of importance except for the parents. In conversation; "Do you see friends or have big family gatherings when you go home for holiday?" response "No. The only thing I have at home are my parents."
