Answer
Wa'alaykumsalaam wa rahmatullah

Your father in law is a Mahram for you - he is like a father that may protect and assist you. Indeed you may not develop any love feelings for him and he is the father of your husband. It is OK that you stay under the same roof as he is your Mahram- If ever there is any feelings as such, then you may need to be separated from your father in law before Satan leads it towards his tricks and traps.

Allah knows best.
