It is not permissible to supplicate against one's parent, even if they are oppressive. Rather, one must be dutiful to them and associate with them in kindness. Supplication should be made for their guidance, and one should say: "O Allah, guide him. O Allah, protect us from his evil. Allah is sufficient for us, and how excellent a Disposer of affairs."
