I think it could just as easily be about the speaker himself, and his own childhood. Bloody Mary is played with a mirror. Looking for too long at your own past can cause you to get lost in it, bringing back all those old ghosts.
I agree, this makes most sense to me. Although I think he talks about his abusive/rough childhood.

When he says :
"You barely cried
But you made it out alive
And I'm so proud
That you're in my hands now"

And this:

You would find it's not the same
I want to jump inside that picture

This part is what makes it show it's about himself -- he basically says that if he grew up with himself as a child it wouldn't be so hard. Then he says he wants to jump into his childhood picture and show his younger-self what he became and how it made it out OK.
This part:
"I'll never let them get closer
Or shower you with any blame
Now we dance in our own picture
Where the rules have changed"
Is where he says he'll protect his younger-self from his abusive/hard-to-deal-with parents and how they can finally be happy inside that picture where he no longer needs to be afraid.
