The answer

The phrase "consider yourself divorced" is an allusion to divorce, not an explicit statement of it. Therefore, if the speaker did not intend divorce by it, it does not occur. Divorce during menstruation is an innovated (bid'i) divorce, but it is valid according to the majority of scholars.
