The answer

If you affirm what your wife mentions about the divorce, and the first pronouncement occurred after intercourse or valid seclusion, then it counts as one divorce. As for the phrase "you are free," it is an ambiguous divorce pronouncement and does not count as a divorce as long as you doubt its intent. Regarding the divorce of an angry person: if you were not aware of what you were uttering, then it does not count as a divorce; otherwise, it is a second divorce. The third divorce is the one you issued hours after the problem. Thus, your wife has become irrevocably divorced from you, and she is not lawful for you until she marries another husband, as Allah the Almighty says: "Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in kindness or release [her] with good treatment." It is recommended to consult courts or directly approach scholars.
