It is good to forgive and forget as well as be careful for future dealings not to fall in previous mistakes.

All the Prophets faced injustice and many of them were killed like Prophet Yahya, but never used divine power or miracles. Allah Wants life to go according to the same system that He created. Allah (SWT) does not use His divine Power against those who disobey Him because He leaves people to do whatever they decide and postpone the final result to the Day of Judgement.

Using divine power will then force people to believe which is against the principle of testing people to make them choose between right and wrong.

The right of the parents remains great on their children no matter how their children were treated by them. Children must be nice to their parents even if the children think that their parents were bad parents. Children must always be grateful and good to their parents and pray for them. Allah (SWT) orders us in Quran to nicely treat nin believer parents even if they try to make you a polytheist وإن جاهداك لِتُشرِكَ بي ما ليسَ لكَ بهِ علمٌ فلا تُطِعهُما وصاحِبهُما في الدنيا مَعروفاً (If your parents strive to make you a polytheist without knowledge from you, then don't obey them, but treat them in this life nicely.) Sura 31, Verse 15.

If you feel justified in invoking divine wrath against someone, prayer number 14 in al-Sahifah al-Sajjadiyah ("His supplication when suffering acts of wrongdoing") may suffice, especially when recited regularly until the situation is resolved, and sometimes these du'as also help as a coping mechanism to gain wisdom from difficulty.

Ziyarat Ashura and Dua Alqamah do not hurt in this regard either.

Allah knows best whether death itself is the best manifestation of His justice, as sometimes justice is better served by keeping someone alive for some time. Frequently, Allah delivers justice in a manner which we could not have expected or asked for.

Of course, sometimes someone may wish to pray for someone to die to be free of their tyranny.

It is generally considered bad form to pray for the death of one's biological parents or children, perhaps due to the intimate link, but of course one could pray for other things such as relocation.

Death is guaranteed for all people anyway.
