To put it kindly, it was dysfunctional. The Ptolemies were killers---of each other. One of her ancestors even killed his wife's son and presented his chopped up body to her on their wedding night. Cleopatra's father killed his daughter, Berenice (Cleo's sister) and Cleopatra herself killed her brother and sister.

Cleopatra's family was probably the original dysfunctional family. They kept up the tradition of the Ptolemies by killing each other off and usurping power. Cleopatra was no different. She killed off her brother/husband as soon as she returned to Egypt after Caesar's death and had Marc Antony kill off her sister.

Cleopatra's family can be described in one word--- dysfunctional. They all scrambled for power, with one or the other usurping the throne and killing others off.
