Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
If these two divorces were interrupted by your husband taking you back, then they are considered two divorces, but if they were not interrupted by your husband's taking you back like if they were in one session, for example, and he did not intend to confirm the first divorce with the second divorce, if that was possible, then whether it is considered one divorce or two divorces depends on the well-known difference of opinion among the scholars in this issue, which we clarified in Fataawa 82330 and 83467.
As regards your husband saying to you that he does not want to live with you and asking you to leave the home and the like, then all this is considered a metaphor of divorce and divorce does not take place just because it unless he intended divorce. For more benefit on the metaphors of divorce, please refer to Fataawa 90531 and 128257.
Since there is a difference of opinion about the issues which we mentioned and some matters need clarification from your husband, then we advise you to take your case to an Islamic court or any authority that acts on its behalf like Islamic Centres in countries where there are no Islamic courts; as the judge (or whoever acts on his behalf) may find out what your husband intended; in addition to this, the decision of the judge shuns away any differences in matters of Ijtihaad (issues on which there is no text in the Quran, or the Sunnah , or the consensus of scholars).
Allaah Knows best.
