In conclusion, Blanche relies on her illusions to escape from a reality that is stained by her past experiences.
Your sentence is fine, although you should replace the word 'adamant' with something like 'important' or 'critical'.

Blanche's past experiences caused her to have difficulty accepting reality, and she relied on illusions as an escape.
"Adamant" is clearly not the word there, as it refers to a person's intensity of opinion or belief, and "played a role in her inability" is more indirect than is advisable. Also, I would be cautious about ascribing an inability to accept reality, rather than an unwillingness. The term "have difficulty" does not make that distinction.

In my opinion, "adamant" isn't the right word. Maybe a better word would be something like "predominant". Other than that it seems like a good sentence.
It's hard to reword it for you without more about the rest of the work. Just from what I see here, something like,
"Clearly, Blanche depends on illusions instead of facing reality."

The sentence works, but I might replace 'adamant' with 'critical' or 'significant'.
