Gabriel is speaking directly about being raised by an overly dominant parent, who corrected him incessantly, hurt him with a sharp tongue and heartless, twisted comments, leaving him scared and confused. The parent presented Peter a world conveniently shallow and black and white; yet Peter, as an artistic soul, could see that it was something quite different.
The remnants of this childhood cause Peter to judge every aspect of life and himself with an internal voice that -- hauntingly -- reminds him of his parent's. He's torn, simply.
