If I delete my router's history, is it still visible and can my ISP still provide it to my parents? Or is it deleted from existence?
Your ISP's record of your network usage isn't in any way affected by you doing anything to your router. You could wipe its memory, subject it to an EMP, and crush its chips to dust, and it wouldn't have any effect on them. :-) They maintain their own logs, which you cannot delete.
Whether your ISP will provide that information to your parents is another question, I expect it varies by locale/jurisdiction and possibly ISP.
You can make it (nearly) impossible for your ISP to know what sites you're visiting by using Tor or similar. The Brave browser (no affiliation) has a "New private window with Tor" menu item for opening a new window in private browsing mode connecting over Tor.

Routers usually do not store history and ISPs, while they may record such things on internal logs, do not give them out to anyone without a court order. You do not need to worry about your parents finding naughty sites you visited unless it's in your browser history. Just turn on incognito mode and don't worry.

If the OP's parents are the account holder it's perfectly reasonable for the ISP to give them log data, since it is their data.

@NathanOliver Wouldn't that depend on jurisdictions pretty heavily? I assume GDPR would cover that; but in other places, is there anything that actually suggests the data they legally collect about you is still "yours"?
