If I understand you correctly, you had permission from the land owners (your mom and dad) to have your modular home on their property. If so, you did not have adverse possession of the land, which requires (among other things) that you continuously occupy the land for a period of time (in most jurisdictions I believe the time period is 11 years, give or take) WITHOUT THE TITLE OWNER'S PERMISSION.
