Be honest and have a conversation with her about it. "Do you have a moment, I'd like to ask you a personal question. Do you like me? It's important to me and I'd love to talk about it with you."

How she acts around you and when you aren't there, if she blatantly shows she dislikes you thats different. Doe she smile when talking about/to you? Does she laugh at your jokes? Is there warm tone in her voice, or is she coldly polite? Does she show you physical affection? Hugs, kisses, so on. Diffrent people show their affection or lack of it differently. Trust your instintc.

I know my mother in law like me because she constantly calls to check up on me and ask how I'm doing. She purposely makes conversation to keep things going and interesting.

Hmm, tell me some of the reasons she might like you. I'm sure there are plenty! Would you like to talk about your relationship with her?

Sometimes this can be difficult. She may act pleasant toward you and compliment you, but behind your back she talks about you in a bad way. But perhaps this is not as important as how you view her. She must earn your respect more than you have to earn hers. After all, it is your own family that you are looking after, and you have to defend it and protect it. So, do not worry so much about her liking or disliking you. Focus on yourself your spouse and children.

You may never know for certain. But if she can see that her child is happy, and knows you've contributed to that, she will respect you at the very least.

Give her positive feedback, if she likes you, it is highly likely that she would reply with the same. Bear in mind that time and place and mood does matter, and the results affected.
