Does divorce occur by saying "You are divorced" to oneself without uttering it, especially if the wife is far from the husband? And if divorce does occur, how can reconciliation be achieved? Is intercourse permissible, and what is the status of a child resulting from that intercourse?

As long as you did not pronounce the divorce, and only thought about it to yourself, then the divorce does not occur, and your wife is still under your marital bond. Disregard these whispers [] and seek Allah's help, and occupy your time with what benefits you.
