Yes it is bad. The more you run the engine the mare damage is done by coolant mixing with the oil. STOP driving it unless you want to destroy the engine.

How serious is it when antifreeze is mixed in with the oil in a 95 Escort wagon?

Very serious! Engine damage will occur if you continue to drive this vehicle. You either have a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Do not drive this vehicle. Repair ASAP. Yaa... that is very bad! You prolly have a blown head gasket. The coolant passes by your heads to cool them, and if the gasket is cracked or broke, then the oil leaks out into the coolant passageway. Sry for the bad news. I doubt the car would be worth it to try and get it fixed... u could price it out.. the labor is wut is gunna get ya!
